Join CFAB for an essential training session on international kinship care and court proceedings.
This session will guide practitioners through the key stages of care proceedings involving placements of children with family members overseas. Topics covered include:
· Pre-proceedings planning: what to consider before initiating proceedings
· The role and relevance of the 1996 Hague Convention in international kinship care
· How to obtain kinship assessments overseas that are both legally compliant and culturally appropriate
· Securing legal permanence for children placed with relatives abroad
· Best practices for planning and arranging post-placement support
Drawing on case studies, this training will explore the legal, cultural, and practical complexities of placing children with family overseas.
Although primarily intended for Local Authority social workers working on public law cases, this session is open to all professionals with an interest in international kinship care. It builds on and consolidates learning from CFAB’s popular Lunch & Learn sessions: Assessing Assessments Overseas and Placing Children with Family Overseas.
