Direct Placement Scheme
We are currently recruiting for direct placement carers. The new scheme has been developed to minimise disruption for a baby.
Its main goal is to reunite a baby with its birth family, while, at the same time, placing them with a dually approved foster family who will go on to adopt the child if it becomes necessary following court proceedings. The scheme aims to reduce the amount of disruption to a baby who might otherwise be moved through different foster families before either being returned home or put up for adoption by having carers who are ‘dually approved’ for a period of time.
Carers would be selected, trained and assessed specifically for the scheme and initially we will select and work with a small number of carers for the pilot project.
If you think you might be interested please phone Jo Poole on 01522 554193 for an initial discussion.
