Undertaking an Adoption Assessment (Scotland)
£13.95
2021 EDITION
The guide is primarily based on Part 1 of the Prospective Adopter's Report (CoramBAAF's Form PAR(S) 2020 for Scotland), which pulls together information about those applying to adopt – individual profile; family and environmental factors; present circumstances; and becoming adopters. It
includes the additional experience, skills and understanding needed by prospective adopters in their role as foster carers when being dual approved under both fostering and adoption regulations or when considering a concurrent placement, and ideas for evidencing the relevant skills and experience of foster carers wishing to adopt a child in their care.
Each section of the guide presents a list of trigger questions that can facilitate further discussion and encourage exploration of different areas and suggestions as to how this can be analysed to assess an applicant’s suitability, or not, to adopt.
The guide includes worksheets to help assessors to plan and keep track of ongoing assessments, worksheets for adopters, and useful checklists about safer caring, completing ecomaps and health and safety issues.
This guide is for all those undertaking adoption assessments in Scotland, and of particular use to those who are new to the task, or concerned about covering all necessary aspects.
