Our commissioned training is delivered by our team of experts, some of whom have lived experience on a variety of adoption and permanent placement topics, examples of which are below. If there are other topics you are interested in, please let us know.
The length of any one training can vary (1.5 hours to full day). Most of our training is delivered online, though we can deliver in-person if required. For in-person training all additional costs to PAC-UK would be chargeable.
Training may be delivered for various participants: adoptive parents, special guardians, adopted adults, birth parents, professionals, as well as for a combination of participants.
