Assessment and Approval of Adopters

Did you know that legislation introduced in 2013 targets adoption approval within six months? It should now be faster and easier to adopt, especially if you’ve previously adopted or are an approved foster carer.

In this course you’ll learn about this new process and gain an understanding of the two-stage approach.

You’ll develop a holistic view of the process that will help you as a prospective adopter, adoption panel member, or an employee working in adoption as part of your role.

You will automatically get a course certificate on course completion – with your name, the CPD hours, the date and learning objectives.

This course contains additional resource materials, useful links and a refresher guide.
