Preparing to Adopt in Scotland - Trainer's guide

Preparing to Adopt is a well-established and popular training programme that has been used extensively throughout the UK for many years. The programme consists of a trainer’s guide, a workbook for applicants, and a PowerPoint presentation. Supporting material also includes film clips, available online, alongside handouts and exercises for delegates supplied electronically.

Preparing to Adopt addresses the situation and regulatory framework in Scotland. It provides relevant, high quality and comprehensive preparation for applicants considering adoption and equips them with sufficient knowledge to help make an informed decision. The programme also provides agencies with an agreed common curriculum for preparation courses in a flexible format that underpins the adoption assessment.

This Trainer's Guide leads the trainer step by step in their delivery of the course – the presentation, exercises, discussions and group work.

An Applicant's Workbook is also available.
