As the UK’s leading membership organisation for professionals working across adoption, fostering and kinship care we want to equip professionals like you with the knowledge, best practices, and resources needed to improve the lives of children and young people.

• Explore fostering, adoption, and kinship care –with a focus on core issues in relation to practice.
• Navigate the legal framework surrounding permanence, including early permanence, with confidence.
• Gain insight into the crucial role of health in adoption, fostering and kinship care.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Each webinar provides you with:
