Chairing fostering and adoption panels

This open course will explore general planning for and facilitation of panels and complex meetings in the children’s sector. It will explore time management and group facilitation whilst holding the child at the centre of thinking, recommendations and decision making.

Join us and our speakers (Polly Toynbee and Professor Harriet Ward) to examine how our understanding of poverty and need has evolved, or not, since the time of Thomas Coram, and the impact this has on the contemporary world.

Coram Society and In Between Lines are pleased to present this free online event marking the close of Black History Month 2023. This year's event centres on the voices of those that have been missing from the historical record, as well as the experience of our speakers and care experienced young people in the Voices through Time: The Story of Care programme.

Many children cared for by adopters , foster carers, and kinship carers have additional health needs. We will explore how social workers can assess and support potential parents and carers in these circumstances.

Ruth Copson will share findings from her doctoral research which explores how family time for infants in Early Permanence placements is managed and experienced by those closely involved.
