TSDS and Annual Foster Home Review
Each year every fostering household has an Annual Foster Home Review. Your training and development are key areas of the review. The Fostering Independent Reviewing Officer (FIRO) will ask you about the training and development you have undertaken during the preceding year and how both you and your Supervising Social Worker think this has contributed to your fostering role.
Completion of the TSDS is mandatory for all foster carers. If you and your partner are both registered carers, then you both need to complete the TSDS separately although you can use the same evidence in your responses. For mainstream carers, completion of TSDS is also the ‘gateway’ to progression through the different levels of skills accreditation: you must complete your TSDS before you can progress to the next level.
