In Detail

The RFC Forum exists to connect RFC professionals, facilitate knowledge-sharing, and support professional development among the UK-based residential family centre community to grow stronger together. This community is exclusively for those working in RFCs, including social workers, family support workers, trainers, and registered managers. Membership requires accurate and up-to-date information, and we may verify your professional status at our discretion by requesting a copy of your active, enhanced DBS.
