Come to our free Virtual Concurrent Care Information Evening on Tuesday, 4 November from 6pm to 7.30pm. We are proud to be holding this event as part of Adoption Week Scotland 2025. The event will take place virtually over Teams.
This event is for anyone curious about concurrent care. Whether you're just beginning to explore the idea of concurrency or already considering applying, this event is for you.
What is concurrent care?
Concurrent care describes a particular type of foster care/adoption which thoroughly explores the possibility of a baby or very young child being returned to his or her birth parents before adoption.
