Adoption support Training Training dates Training Dates The very first moment you consider becoming a parent via adoption is the start of your adoption journey; an exploration of whether it is the right option for you, and the steps that you will need to take as you build your family. As part of the support that you will receive throughout the adoption process and beyond, you will benefit from various training from the ARC Adoption team, such as: Stage 1 and Stage 2 training, Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy (PACE) training, and Connected by Adoption training, all of which will help you and those close to you, to prepare for you becoming a parent. Upcoming training dates 4th and 5th November - Stage 1 Training 11th and 12th November - Stage 2 Training 18th November - PACE 2024 training dates are in planning and will be updated here in due course. Please note that considerations will be made as to whether adoption training will take place virtually or face to face in line with government guidance at the time.
