The CALM Foster Carer evaluative method and criteria are found below for designated Indigo staff to carry out induction certifications.
Indigo CALM Evaluation Guidance
For each module, a relevant anonymised case scenario will be used for evaluation, and a set of 10 questions will be formulated to assess the foster carer's understanding and application of the educational content. The one-hour evaluation sessions will be a key component of the assessment, where thorough exploration of the educational content and a deep individualised understanding of the foster carer role are established .
Upon completion of these evaluation sessions and the assigned readings, foster carers will receive comprehensive Indigo CALM Foster Carer Certification, signifying their calibre of providing care in accordance with Indigo Fostering standards and their commitment to upholding the highest standards of care advocacy, leadership, and mentoring .
