Despite the Government’s promises to create ‘the healthiest generation ever’ and prioritise a ‘prevention first’ approach to health, a coalition of charities and the Royal Colleges are sounding the alarm.
Private Fostering Awareness Day is dedicated to raising awareness about private fostering. The objective is to inform the public about what private fostering entails and its significance. Start raising awareness today!
Growing up in care with multiple disabilities, Susan faced significant challenges, including a lack of proper support and understanding from the care system. Despite these obstacles, a late autism diagnosis at 21 enabled her to pursue higher education and advocate for systemic changes to better support disabled children in care.
CoramBAAF would like to support a better understanding of private fostering and this often hidden group of children. We launched a Private Fostering Survey in July 2024, as a first attempt to gather some basic data about the national picture from our members.
The adoption sub-group of the Public Law Working Group (PLWG) has published its interim report titled 'Recommendations for best practice in respect of adoption'. The PLWG encourages anyone who has experience of, or views on, this area to respond to the consultation.
CoramBAAF welcomes the publication of the Public Law Working Group adoption sub-group report. It contains a wealth of recommendations aimed at supporting the continued modernisation and adaptation of the adoption process.
Team Manager (Post Approval Team)
We're looking for a passionate, dynamic leader to join us as the Post Approval Adoption Team Manager and make a real difference in the lives of children and families as they move through their adoption journey. This is an exciting opportunity to manage a small but vibrant team of senior practitioners and support staff, helping to deliver high quality intercountry adoption services while working alongside a dedicated leadership team. With supporting adopters as they prepare for their match or providing ongoing support after adoption orders are granted, the postholder will play a key role in shaping the future for these families. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about adoption, and motivated to support families to best meet the needs of the children they adopt. The postholder will have a strong background in social work specialising in adoption and some experience in managing staff and bring a deep commitment to providing exceptional care and support.
