The challenge of achieving permanence for children in care
This seminar brought together researchers, in conjunction with representatives from the voluntary and public sector, to explore what permanence means to them and the aligned challenges in achieving this for vulnerable children. Speakers used their knowledge and experience to give perspectives on a wide range of issues, including Special Guardianship Orders, calculating the cost of permanence and local authority partnerships.

Lisa Holmes (Director, Centre for Child and Family Research at Loughborough University) presents on the cost calculator for children’s services. This was produced by her team of researchers at Loughborough University and seeks to link children’s needs, the services provided, the costs incurred and the outcomes in terms of children’s welfare.
