In 2006 as part of the Children and Young people’s funding Package, the Government provided a £1.04 million grant to a partnership of two charitable voluntary organizations, the Fostering Network and Include Youth, to set up and manage the Fostering Achievement project.
This is an innovative and practical project, having the aim of equipping and supporting foster carers in Northern Ireland, so that they are better placed to help those children and young people in their care to:
- Gain a sense of achievement
- Realise their potential
- Make their dreams come true
This aim is being achieved on a daily basis throughout Northern Ireland with children and young people learning new skills, developing and enhancing natural talents, pursuing new interests, improving learning and gaining a real sense of self worth and achievement.
Fostering Achievement views education in its broadest sense and hence promotes learning and development in a variety of ways including fun based activities. Great emphasis is placed on ensuring that all children and young people are safe when participating in such activities. By way of example, only approved tutors and instructors are used within the scope of the project. This associated guide 'HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE' gives some guidelines for ensuring child's safety.
