Babies under two: concurrent planning
The care system can be the start of a disruptive and difficult journey for babies and young children who may be moved between foster carers while a decision is being reached about their long term future.
However, this does not need to be the case.
Coram offers an alternative, through a process called concurrent planning, which we have been pioneering since 2001.
Concurrent planning means that a baby or child in care is found suitable foster carers who are ready and willing to adopt them later, if adoption is decided to be the best option for their long term future.
Through concurrent planning, children are given a greater chance of finding stability and forming secure relationships with permanent adoptive parents. It provides consistency and prevents a child from the upheaval of being moved between families while a decision is being reached about their future.
Coram champions concurrent planning so that children find loving, stable homes and have the best possible start in life.
