Working with relinquished babies and their families

| ONLINE

There has been an increase in the number of ‘relinquished’ babies and children needing adoptive families. Placed with their parents’ consent, agencies commonly use early permanence placements for these children.

This course will look at the relevant statutory frameworks and recent case law. It will also explore the challenges of working with relinquished babies and their parents, some of the complexities of the background histories of relinquished babies, the importance of counselling for relinquishing parents, care planning and the support needs of relinquished children and their adopters.
