Undertaking a Child's Permanence Report

The Child's Permanence Report (CPR) is the primary document used by the Agency Decision Maker to reach their decision that the child ‘should be placed for adoption’. The CPR also provides information for adoption panels to reach their recommendations when children are being placed for adoption with the consent of their birth parents.

This open course will support social workers to understand the content, purpose and function of the Child's Permanence Report (CPR), good practice in its undertaking and how it can be used to provide a full picture of each child’s journey and needs.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The session will allow participants to:

• a better understanding of the lifelong impact of adoption
• an understanding of the purpose and function of the CPR 
• an understanding of the need to be aware of who will read the report
• considered some of the barriers and challenges of preparing the report
• skills to be better equipped to write an outstanding report

RECOMMENDED READING

Completing a child's permanence report

Authors: Elaine Dibben with Lyn Bugarski, Nicky Probert and Julia Wilson (2014)

This guide is designed to help social workers to manage and complete a comprehensive and evidence-based permanence report for a looked after child. It is to be used by assessing social workers to complete a Child’s Permanence Report using the CoramBAAF Form CPR (for England).

The guide looks at Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the form, along with Section C, which pull together information about the child; possible contact arrangements with the child and birth family members or other significant people; and a summary of the actions of the adoption agency, along with recommendations on the merits of different orders and future contact.

Each section of the guide presents a list of trigger questions that can facilitate further discussion, and reminders of which details should be included in the report.
