Our social work practice must be guided by the values and principles of anti-racist practice and cultural humility. This means embedding them into all aspects of our work with families, bringing self-awareness of our own biases, assumptions and privileges, and centering families’ lived experience.

There has been an increase in the number of ‘relinquished’ babies and children needing adoptive families. Placed with their parents’ consent, agencies commonly use early permanence placements for these children.

This course will look at the relevant statutory frameworks and recent case law. It will also explore the challenges of working with relinquished babies and their parents, some of the complexities of the background histories of relinquished babies, the importance of counselling for relinquishing parents, care planning and the support needs of relinquished children and their adopters.

We work together with our members to improve outcomes for children and young people in care. UK and international organisations in membership include: local authorities; voluntary adoption agencies; independent fostering providers; NHS Trusts; law firms; statutory organisations; and voluntary organisations.

Clare Seth, our Kinship Consultant, answers your questions about kinship care planning. These questions were asked by our attendees during our Members' Week webinar.
