Assessing Gay & Lesbian Carers
One day workshop

This workshop is within the context of a national shortage of adoptive and foster placements, agencies needed to ensure that they do not deter lesbian and gay applicants from offering themselves as potential carers. Proposed new legislation in Scotland, likely to be enacted in 2009, will allow fostering and joint adoption by unmarried couples, including same-sex couples.

Neglect
Two day workshop

This workshop will seek to clarify what is neglect; its association with emotional and psychological abuse; and the consequences for the child. Assessment and decision making in neglect cases is fraught with difficulties as so often the neediness of the parents arising from mental ill health, learning difficulties and social and emotional problems distract from the impact of neglect on the child.
