Training & events programme

OPEN TO ALL
This short briefing session is part of our Forms England release and sits alongside our recent event and launch on the Child's Permanence Report (CPR) England: Briefing session. Whether you are a prospective adopter, foster carer, social worker, policymaker or academic we invite you to engage with the AFDiT framework both personally and professionally. AFDiT is about how we ALL are and how we then behave in the context of transracial adoption.

Let's acknowledge and celebrate difference. Understand neurodiversity as a natural variation to ‘the norm’ rather than as something that is disordered, dysfunctional or deficient. This session is an introduction to aspects of neurodiversity including autism, dyslexia and ADHD. It will give an overview to increase participants' knowledge and develop confidence in the subject.

Join us for an engaging event designed to inform and connect health professionals from across the country. You'll have the opportunity to get up to date on critical topics, gain valuable insight, share your perspective and be part of the conversation.

This open course aims to challenge your understanding of the meaning of diversity and intersectionality. This training will be a highly interactive exploration of equality, diversity and inclusion.

In the year ending March 23, according to the Department of Education data, there were 7290 unaccompanied-asylum seeking children and young people in care. We know there are more who are illegally placed in hotels or incorrectly age-assessed as adults. Many of these children and young people are vulnerable and experiencing discrimination. In this open course, we will explore their legal rights, think about their needs, how these can best be met and with what support.

This course is aimed at social care professionals who are engaged in the assessment of prospective adoptive parents, foster carers and kinship carers and who wish to increase their awareness and confidence in considering gender issues in assessment, analysis and decision making.
