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.

Coram Ambitious for Adoption host free information sessions about adoption. These events are a great chance to learn general information about adoption and how to adopt through Coram. There will be an opportunity to ask any questions in both the online and in person sessions.

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.

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.
