The Journey to Permanence via Adoption 4th October 2018

Liz Spaven & Helen Hartness

Knowledge and Skills Statement: Achieving Permanence Permanence means making a long-term plan for how a child will be cared for which lasts throughout their childhood. There are a range of options for permanence, inside and outside of the care system. All should deliver good outcomes, giving children a sense of security, continuity, commitment, identity and belonging to ensure future positive life chances. Permanence options for children include: returning home to their families; living with kinship carers, including special guardians; living with adoptive families; living with long-term foster carers; or living in residential care. They also include where an existing short-term placement is being made permanent. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment _data/file/570659/Knowledge_and_skills_statement_for_achieving_permanence.pdf
