The ASI-AF is an evidence-based assessment tool for the purposes of anticipating post-placement support needs in adoption and fostering. A four day training course is available to establish reliable use of the ASI-AF and to build up practitioners' skills in making assessments of characteristics of parents and carers. It encompasses their quality of close relationships, social support and security of adult attachment style.
