Become a subscriber

For an annual fee of £45, your organisation could become a CVAA Subscriber and receive the following benefits:

Discounted tickets to CVAA Practice Programme events – rather than the £99 ticket price for external organisations, attendees from CVAA subscriber organisations will pay £79 for tickets. A subscription therefore more than pays for itself after just 3 events.

Event attendees will receive all resources (slides, notes, recommended reading and suggested activities) from events that they attend.

A monthly newsletter that includes policy updates, news from the Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board, and the latest on the Practice Programme.

Our weekly Adoption in Media e-bulletin that rounds up news articles on adoption and permanence from around the country.

You will be able to advertise your own events in our newsletter.

You will also be able to post your events (information nights, conferences, fun days, anything really!) on our online events calendar.
