Training and events

Join colleagues from across the adoption sector for a forum focused on adopter recruitment. This event will explore the findings of Adoption Propensity in England, Coram's latest research into the factors that influence people's willingness and propensity to adopt. Alongside an overview of the research, participants will have the opportunity to consider what the findings mean for their own area and how they can be translated into effective recruitment strategies. The forum is designed for adoption service leaders, managers, practitioners, recruitment professionals and others with responsibility for recruiting and supporting adopters.

Storyteller is the digital platform designed to support life story work by enabling content to be created and curated for, with, and by children in care. Join Coram and After Cloud, the teams behind the project, for the latest instalment of our quarterly webinar series. This webinar is all about truths, told in ways that can be heard... about stories that bring tears and laughter... about the psychological safety for identity to emerge. About courage, and bright futures.

Activity Days allow you to meet a range of children who are waiting to be adopted in a supported, safe and fun environment. Referrals are free of charge but you will need to be in at least Stage 2 of the assessment process with a positive recommendation from your social worker.

CCLC provide training for social work teams, IROs, advocates, personal advisers, NGOs and other frontline practitioners. We can also tailor any of our full day training, or provide separate training to cover other areas – for example healthcare, access to education & EU rights.

Exchange Days are events where adoption agencies can profile their children and adopters. You can have a stand at the event or you can attend as a practitioner to support your adopters.
