When I'm Ready

About the CPD course

Note - this course refers to a type of arrangement only available in Wales. The equivalent of 'When I am Ready' in England is 'Staying Put' and 'Continuing Care' in Scotland. You will find the relevant courses in our course catalogue. 'When I'm Ready' is an arrangement where a child in care and their foster carer agree that the child will stay in their placement after they turn 18. This can be a good option for providing support as a young person in care progresses towards becoming an independent adult."
