Processes and Outputs of an Adoption Panel: A Case Study
This second report from an observational adoption-panel case study examined participation, attendance, scrutiny and conclusions. Panel scrutiny involved identifying issues in social work permanence proposals, asking questions, seeking reassurance, reaching conclusions and giving feedback.
Limitations: This reports one panel’s processes, not adoptees’ perspectives or longitudinal child outcomes. It shares the case study with the earlier inputs paper and is not independent replication. Publication relationship: this research was published by BAAF or in its Adoption & Fostering journal, now associated with CoramBAAF, an adoption-sector organisation. Publication does not establish that the organisation conducted the research; readers may take the institutional relationship into account.
