The aim of the project is to achieve further progress in the Adoption services we offer, and to achieve earlier permanence and improved outcomes for children in the care system in Kent.
‘Facing the Challenge’ has identified adoption as a service to be considered for Phase 2 of the Transformation Programme. The proposal to establish a Voluntary Adoption Agency will follow the principles of service redesign outlined within the Facing the Challenge programme.
The decision relates to Corporate Objectives as it will be a key part of the Council’s aim to ensure that every child has the best start in life
