SUMMARY:Stage 1 Early Permanence (part of Prep. Course)
DESCRIPTION:**N.B. This course needs to be booked by your social worker and is intended for those already in the assessment process** \nAdoption West believe that Early Permanence provides the best possible futures for children\, we therefore give all our prospective adopters the chance to explore this option through training. The majority of adopters are approved as Early Permanence carers\, so that our children experience fewer moves in their lives and can be placed with a family as early as possible\, however it is a personal choice and you will be given the option to opt out of becoming an Early Permanence carer to follow a more traditional adoption journey.
