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. This is why we are launching a breakfast webinar series to help you get started in adoption, fostering and kinship care.

The sessions are aimed at students, newly qualified social workers, recently qualified social workers, those returning to social work or just those simply wishing to find more out about a practice area they are interested in.  

Part of the rationale behind this series is that we think these areas of practice are hugely important and we want to make them as accessible as they can be to all social workers. That is why they are free of charge and available to everyone (whether you are a member or not!). 

The six areas we will cover are:
