'I will now read more, put more reading material around the house... in the bathroom - and use the library more.' Foster Carer.
'I will now talk to my children more about what they are reading.' Foster Carer.

'The feedback from staff was very positive and they engaged with and enjoyed the training very much. It was highly interactive and activity based. Very good, lots of practical ideas and a good survey of different approaches and different kinds of material available. Very enjoyable, relaxed and entertaining – messages were put across very well.'
