Creating Compassionate Children
Creating Compassionate Children is one of the two main programmes that we run under the Fostering Compassion Banner and consists of the undernoted services for care experienced and vulnerable children aged 3–19 years of age. It also includes the delivery of ‘taster’ sessions for Primary and Secondary Schools in areas of deprivation or those with children with Additional Support Needs.
