CoramBAAF has listened to and liaised with members and is delighted to announce this national Private Fostering Awareness Day. Join Ann Horne and Clare Seth for a free and open access Breakfast Briefing – An Introduction to Private Fostering.

This research study explores and evaluates the growing area of adoption support of birth families where a child has been adopted. It is based on data collected from eight agencies providing independent support services to birth relatives, and from interviews with 73 birth relatives with recent experience of losing a child to adoption.

This open course course will enable participants to increase their understanding of the role of permanence in children's lives. By reflecting on best practice, it will help those attending to form permanence plans that are geared to improving the outcomes for children and young people, including their emotional, cognitive and physical development.
