Training: Contact – What does it mean?

10 March 2025
Zoom | 18:30 – 9pm

Philippa Williams is the Learning and Development Manager for Adoption UK in Wales, and brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her role.  Her own personal journey with adoption began in the late 1990s, when she adopted her first child.  She later went on to contribute as a volunteer and became a buddy, and parent consultant before assuming her current position.  She now delivers various training, combining her extensive personal insights with professional expertise to support adoptive families across Wales.

The course provides space for adoptive parents to reflect on the benefits and risks associated with contact.  Participants will be given the opportunity to think about who might be significant for their child to have contact with and how this could happen.  Participants will discuss how to support a child through the process and reflect on their own feelings about contact.
