Nurturing Programme foster parent feedback
“A couple who have completed their OCN portfolios have attended a court hearing and are now in a position to receive their 4 children back home. The next stage was going to be adoption for the children, but the FLNP OCN results achieved by the parents was used as evidence and made a huge impact. … many parents undertake various parenting programmes and they merely act as a temporary fix, but FL has made a lasting impact on their attitudes and behaviour and this was recognised by the professionals involved in their court hearing.”
