Concurrent Planning: Report of a scoping exercise carried out for Faith in Families, Nottingham
Interviews and focus groups with local-authority staff and legal professionals explored introducing concurrent planning in the East Midlands. Participants identified uncertainty about the relationship between fostering and adoption, court decisions and professional responsibilities. The report examines service feasibility, rather than evaluating outcomes for participating children.
Limitations: Purposive professional sample included authorities interested in the approach. No direct child testimony or controlled outcome evaluation. Commissioned for Faith in Families, an adoption service provider, through a knowledge-transfer project.
