Assessor Training (delivered by Changing Script)

Tender description

The National Adoption Strategy set by government sets out a bold vision to deliver excellence in adoption services across England. The aim is to ensure that best practice becomes the norm so that every adopted child and their family can access the services and support they need wherever they live and maximise children’s outcomes in the short and long term. The aim is for all adoptive children to be found permanent loving families as quickly as possible where they will be safe and secure; adopters are recruited from all communities so that we have a range of approved parents able and well prepared to meet the needs of children waiting to be adopted and that children and families get the support they need when they need it. Funding for this contract is available from the national adoption recruitment campaign grant from the DfE. Regional Adoption Agencies (RAAs) leaders have once again agreed to collectively pool the resources, working collaboratively to achieve better outcomes for children waiting for adoption. The DfE have approved OAWY to act as a central repository for the grant funds on behalf of all RAAs, with Leeds City Council holding the funds as host of OAWY.
