The Role Of The Panel Member training

Although agencies make decisions about whether a family should be approved as an adopter or foster carer, they are guided in this by recommendations made by an adoption or fostering panel. Panels are made up of people with diverse and relevant experience of adoption or fostering.

This course explores the role of the panel member, the legal frameworks and guidance on training, support and supervision.
