Central East Regional Adoption Agency – Lessons Learned: A case study of the VAA-led RAA project
This paper aims to capture the learning from the Central East Regional Adoption Agency (CE RAA) project between June 2015 and July 2017. It is written from the perspective of Coram-i, although it was shared with the CE RAA executive group (i.e. the CE RAA DCSs/representatives) in June 2017 and any comments made by them have been incorporated. It aims to aid learning and to highlight enablers and disablers for the process of ‘Regionalising Adoption’ and achieving innovation in cross-sector working.
Coram-Kent post-adoption support partnership summary
Coram-i has been working in partnership with Kent County Council since 2012, helping it to improve its adoption service from an inadequate Ofsted judgement (2011) to a Good judgement (2017).
An evaluation of Activity Days for Adoption (2016)
Adoption Activity Days (AADs) are delivered by Coram-i and act as a vital mechanism for finding adoptive families for children, particularly those for whom their agency has been searching for a while. This evaluation report looks at the impact of AADs and the experiences of those involved.
