General questions 

How do I access my forms? 

Once your application for a Forms Licence has been approved, you will be contacted by a member of the CoramBAAF team. They will share with you the relevant access instructions, and secure weblink, for you to begin accessing your chosen forms - alongside guidance and additional documents. 

Which CoramBAAF forms are you updating? 

Throughout 2025 we will be publishing new versions of Kinship Care Assessment forms (Form K, which was Form C), the Adoption Support Plan (alongside an updated version of the Adoption Progress Report), Child Permanence Report, Prospective Foster Carer Report, Child Health Suite of Forms, and more to follow. 

How do I access the updated forms? 

If your organisation holds a CoramBAAF Forms Licence for the previous version of a form, your license will automatically update to include the new version. The previous version of forms or accompanying documents will remain within your licence access where applicable. Your forms licence will continue to include the checks and references resources.


Kinship Care Assessment (Form K) questions 

Should I use Form C or Form K? 

If your local authority is currently using CoramBAAF’s Form C, please note that this form will no longer be licenced following publication of Form K. At point of publication of Form K (3 February), if you are midway through an assessment using Form C, you may complete the assessment using Form C, but all new assessments should be completed using Form K.    

Have you published a guide for completing Form K? 

Our publication Undertaking a connected person/family and friends assessment continues to provide advice and information about the completion of kinship assessments. However, a revised and updated version Undertaking a kinship assessment: a guide to collecting and analysing information for Form K (2025) will be published. 

Do you run training about how to complete a Kinship Care Assessment? 

Yes, we have a one-day course 'Kinship assessment practice’ and a two-day course ‘Undertaking a kinship assessment’ to support you in completing a Kinship Care Assessment.
