We Are Family: Fostering Siblings
Barnardo's NI
On the 10th April we celebrate National Siblings Day but not all siblings get to stay together when they are in care. There are often practical reasons for this as it can be challenging to find foster carers who can take more than one child at a time - but being separated from brothers and sisters can be another layer of loss and destabilisation for children.
In this online session, we will be discussing what it’s like to foster siblings, we'll explore the importance of understanding sibling dynamics and why keeping family groups together, where it's appropriate, can be a key part in healing, growth and a sense of safety and identity.
If you'd like to know more about fostering siblings or fostering to adopt with Barnardo's, join us for this informal conversation.

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
