It is good practice for the employer to conduct at least one pre-adoption-leave interview with the employee.
At the interview the employer should discuss arrangements for staying in touch with the employee during the adoption leave, including keeping-in-touch days.
The interview could also include discussion of other practicalities such as the employee's annual leave entitlement and arrangements for when they will take this.
