Outcomes of Concurrent Planning: Summary of Findings
Coram examined records for 57 children placed through concurrent planning and interviewed 28 parents or primary carers. Fifty-four children had been adopted and three reunited with birth families. All 57 remained in their placements at the 2012–13 follow-up. The report also assessed children’s health, behaviour and education using records and adult reports.
Limitations: One service with no matched comparison group. Detailed interviews had a 61% response rate. Parents reported children’s outcomes; stability does not establish wellbeing. Earlier interim findings and later follow-ups concern overlapping children. Coram conducted research on its own concurrent-planning service. Readers should consider this institutional relationship.
