Pre-Approval Training for Applicants

As part of your application you will be invited to a Preparation Group.  The group is designed to give you information and training and to facilitate exploration of  the issues involved in adoption. The group is run by experienced social workers from the Adoption Team, together with experienced adopters. The aim of the training is to begin to prepare you for caring for someone else's child and understanding how this is different from caring for birth children.  Attendance for all the group sessions for all applicants is a mandatory part of our process for you to become an adopter.
