Panel administrators: their role and responsibilities for fostering and permanency panels

The role of the panel administrator is a multidimensional one. Effective adoption and fostering panels are crucial to the delivery of a good adoption and fostering service, and the provision of services for looked after children.

The efficient administration of panels, including the provision of clear and accurate minutes, is a skilled and complex task that is essential to the smooth and effective operation of panels.

This open course will enable adoption and fostering panel administrators to examine related legislation and share best practice though group discussion and practice application.
