Training for Adoption South East adopters

Adoption UK is running a range of training courses for adopters and prospective adopters registered with Adoption South East.

Our training helps adopters develop their knowledge and skills at all stages of the adoption journey.

All training programmes are delivered by professional trainers who, first and foremost, are adoptive parents themselves, and therefore understand the challenges and rewards of parenting an adopted child.

If you are unable to register for a course, this may be because it has reached capacity and bookings have closed.  Please either book onto the next available session, if available, or e-mail [email protected] to be put on a waiting list and title your e-mail ASE waiting - course title.
