Child health assessments are a key component in permanence planning for looked after children. Medical Advisers need to be aware of the relevant legislation, statutory guidance and competencies framework. They are required to interpret information and present this in an informative and considered format for social care colleagues, panels and potential carers. This course will consider the Medical Adviser's role in adoption relating to children.

Analysing adult health assessments is a key element of assessing adopters and foster carers. This includes providing reports and evidence-based comments so that panels can reach appropriate decisions. This course is designed to support medical advisers in their role. It is particularly suitable for new or inexperienced medical advisers.

The Child 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 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.

Living with and managing children who display challenging and violent behaviour occurs at a higher prevalence within communities of kinship carers and adoptive parents than in the the general population. The impact of early adversity, loss and separation as well as high levels of SEN can manifest as complex behaviour impacting on parents and carers and often leading to crisis and disruption within families. This session will share learning from Al Coates’ international Churchill Fellowship Report looking at specific models of support and interventions are used to help families caring and parenting children with care experience.
