CoramBAAF is excited to publish the new Kinship Care Assessment (Form K) England. The change in name from Form C to Form K reflects the national policy reform agenda, and a growing awareness of the complexity and importance of kinship care when children can’t remain at home with their parents.
The new assessment amplifies the voice of the child and focuses on the relationship between them and the prospective kinship carer, drawing out strengths and highlighting support needs. It enables a relationship-based and reflective assessment process that gathers and analyses the information required to inform decisions about a child’s future care.
Resources
As part of your license agreement, alongside Form K you will receive a range of documents: including a Kinship Support Plan, guidance notes, and more. To support you further in your practice, we have collated a range of resources that will help you to confidently complete a Kinship Care Assessment, and successfully use Form K.
Book your place at a briefing session
Our briefing session has been designed to give you an overview of key principles, the development, structure and use of Form K. We are running two briefing sessions, that explore the same content, to allow you to join us.
