Sibling assessments: beyond together or apart

We will explore who the key contributors to sibling assessments are, how assessors can plan assessments, and how to engage with contributors.

For local authority professionals who are involved in the placement of children in the UK with kinship carers overseas on a Hague Convention Adoption Order.

Join our event to hear the results and implications of a research project that took place over a year into creative Life Story Work.

Care experienced people as a protected characteristic

Ann Horne and Clare Seth will explore the challenges and complexities of care planning in kinship care. They will map out the care planning journey from early identification of potential carers to securing legal permanence. They will explore the challenges including assessment, regulations and guidance but also offer suggestions for good practice.

Paul Shuttleworth will be discussing why children's views are worthy of inclusion in research to shape policy and practice in kinship care.
