Effective adoption panels

What are the roles and responsibilities of adoption panel members? What laws and regulations determine the functioning of an adoption panel? How can panels improve their work to make better placements?

Effective adoption panels answers these and many other questions. It is the only guide designed to help panels make sound and effective recommendations. It also contains comprehensive appendices covering useful supplementary information such as sample job and person specifications and sample review formats.

This edition reflects all recent changes in regulations, standards and guidance. It is updated to take into account virtual panels, how best to integrate virtual panel work with the day-to-day work of the agency, developments in RAAs, developments in early permanence, and legislative and case law changes.

Appendices, including a glossary of useful terms, sample job descriptions, person specifications and review forms for panel members and panel Chairs, are all provided at the end of the guide and can be purchased as electronic downloads.

This book is for new and existing central list and panel members and all those who come into contact with the work of panels, particularly social workers, agency managers, committee members, adopters, foster carers and kinship carers, and a wide range of other professionals.
