The Department for Education is implementing comprehensive fostering system reforms to increase the number of foster carers and improve support for children in care. The reform programme addresses assessment procedures, abuse allegation handling, adoption support, and aims to create homes for 10,000 additional children through systemic improvements.
We're seeking views on a more responsive, holistic and evidence-based system of adoption support, including changes to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund.
Seeking views on proposals to improve assessment and approval of foster carers, and improve support during allegations.
This call for evidence focuses on areas where we want to gather further information from the sector and those with lived experience about possible future reforms to the fostering system.
