Looked After and Accommodated Review

English to Polish Other Other

“It is suggested that at the point a Looked After and Accommodated Review
makes a recommendation of permanence for a child, a standard letter be sent
to the Children’s Hearings System to inform them of this. A formal request for
advice from the Children’s Hearings should be made following the decision of
the Adoption Panel. This means the role of the Children’s Hearings is clearer;
they are offering advice, not becoming involved in planning. The important
issue in permanency planning is that one forum either the Courts or the
Children’s Hearinsg System deals with it. Currently there is confusion of
roles, and this needs to be resolved.”
