1. Introduction and Background

TACT registered as an adoption agency on 10 November 2004. On 7 August 2007, the adoption

services of the Independent Adoption Service (IAS) and The Adolescent and Children’s Trust

(TACT) merged to become TACT IAS. The agency adopted the title TACT Adoption prior to Parents

for Children (PfC) joining with TACT in February 2009. PfC specialised in recruiting families for

children with special needs through its Child Specific Model and they held the archive records

for Family Ties previously known as Phyllis Holman Richards Adoption Society (PHRAS) due to a

similar merger. It offered a range of pre and post adoption services to its service users.

IAS operated as a voluntary adoption agency since it was founded in 1965. Its adoption services

were based in South East London and, since its foundation IAS placed over 1400 children with

new families.

PfC established itself as an adoption service in 1976. It was based in North London and

developed a UK wide profile and offered a national service to children with special needs.

Through its Child Specific Services it has placed many hard to place children for adoption and

continued to support those in permanent placements.

PHRAS grew from a mother & baby home into an adoption agency placing babies in adoptive

families. It later became Family Ties and some years later merged with Parents for Children.

TACT Adoption has gradually developed the range of adoption services available, in line with the

needs of the children already within its areas of operation and for those referred to TACT

Adoption. These services worked alongside TACT’s fostering services.

TACT has been operating as a charitable independent fostering agency since 1993 and has

well-established bases in London (South and East London), East Midlands (Kettering), West

Midlands (Birmingham), The North West (Liverpool), the South West (Bristol), Wales (Neath),

Yorkshire (Leeds) and Scotland (Edinburgh). All these offices are registered with the appropriate

national inspection/registration body: Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services

and Skills (Ofsted ) in England, the Care and Social Services Standards Inspectorate for Wales

(CSSIW) and the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care (Scotland).

As TACT expanded, it became increasingly aware of the needs of children in placement, who

require adoption or some other form of permanency. TACT, therefore, decided to develop an

adoption service and other permanency services to meet the needs of children who are already

in placement and those who may be referred for services in the future.

On 1 April 2017 TACT was chosen to run Peterborough’s permanency services (including

adoption and fostering services) and this statement of purpose reflects that service.

These combined resources and services are aimed at maximising the life chances of children

who are unable to live within their birth families.

TACT & TACT Peterborough is a multi-racial organisation with trustees, adoption panel members

and staff reflecting the diverse origins of the children and families it serves.

10. Monitoring and evaluation of services

Standards of care are measured and monitored against the Adoption National Minimum

Standards 2011, National Adoption Standards for England, National Minimum Standards for

Fostering Services and the UK National Standards for Foster Care.

All staff and carers are provided with an appropriate set of policies, procedures and practice

guidance that are based on these national standards. Prospective adoptive parents are made

aware of the policies and procedures and they are informed that they are available should they

wish to read them.

The agency has a system in place for obtaining feedback from people using its services,

including, surveys completed by carers and young people, consultation events, staff and carers’

representatives groups. Adopters are invited to complete questionnaires at key stages such as

after information meetings, preparation training and after attendance at panel.

Feedback on the effectiveness and quality of service also comes through staff team meetings

and the work of the Adoption Panel. The information informs the management of the service,

policy and practice, and the service plan.

The agency operates within clear guidelines for the supervision and accountability of staff which

ensures the regular monitoring of services. It offers a programme of training and support to

staff in carrying out their responsibilities and this is reviewed annually following the review of

staff performance.

Case files and supervision records, which are stored electronically, are monitored and audited

regularly and the quality and effectiveness of the compliments, comments and complaints

procedure is regularly monitored and kept under review.

The Board of Trustees receives information about the adoption service through regular reports

to the Children’s Services and Safeguarding Committee which addresses the effectiveness and

outcomes of the service. It includes information concerning the number of complaints and

outcomes from those complaints.

11. Recruitment, assessment and approval process

Applicants wishing to adopt will be welcomed without prejudice and given clear information

about the preparation, assessment and approval procedure. They will be treated fairly, openly

and with respect throughout the process. The aim is to recruit prospective adopters who will

meet the needs of children requiring adoption, including adopters who are able to offer fostering

for adoption or homes for older children, brother and sister groups, children from black and

minority ethnicity backgrounds and children with disabilities or other special needs.

The Stage 1 and Stage 2 process is as follows:

a) In pre Stage 1, information is sent out following initial enquiries and telephone

discussion with applicants and an enquiry form is completed.

b) Applicants are invited to an information meeting or an initial office interview followed by

a home visit.

c) The initial visit is carried out (up to two visits) and the outcome is discussed with the

Adoption thematic lead.

d) The applicants may then submit a registration of interest (ROI).

e) The Adoption thematic lead makes the decision to proceed or not with an enquiry based

on the needs of children needing adoptive homes.


10 of 16

f) If the decision is not to proceed, enquirers are informed verbally and this is followed up

in writing.

g) If the decision is to proceed to Stage 1, applicants are asked to complete consent forms,

and checks and references will be undertaken (DBS, medicals, references, etc.).

Applicants will start to complete the Self-Assessment Questionnaire.

h) Applicants are invited to attend the preparation course which comprises of three

separate days.

i) The preparation course includes information for applicants about:

Age range, gender likely needs and background of children who may be placed for

adoption;

The significance of adoption for a child and their family;

Contact between a child and their parent/guardian or relative where a child is

authorised to be placed for adoption or is adopted;

The skills which are necessary for an adoptive parent;

The procedure in relation to the assessment of a prospective adopter and the

placement of a child for adoption; and

The procedure in relation to placement for adoption and adoption support.

j) Work will be completed in line with the timescales set out in the statutory adoption

guidance. The assessment would normally be presented to panel within six months of

accepting an application. When the Prospective Adopter’s Report (PAR), is completed,

providing all checks and references are returned, it is taken to the Joint Peterborough

City and TACT Peterborough Adoption Panel for recommendation to the agency.

Applicant/s are invited and encouraged to attend Panel. Applicants are told the

recommendation of the panel verbally the same day.

k) The Agency Decision Maker, who is a senior manager in TACT decides on whether or not

to approve the applicants as adopters. Currently the role is fulfilled by Alister Brown or

Andy Elvin. The applicants are informed about the decision verbally on the same day and

in writing within five working days.

l) If the panel decides not to recommend the applicant’s suitability as an adoptive parent,

the agency will inform the applicant verbally and in writing. Information will be provided

about the Independent Review Mechanism and TACT’s Complaints and Representation

Procedures.

m) The panel also hears the matches between Peterborough children and their prospective

adopters, and makes its recommendation on the suitability of the match. The Agency

Decision Maker for ‘matches’ is a senior manager in Peterborough City Council.

Currently the role is fulfilled by Simon Green and Alison Bennett.

n) The agency adviser to panel is the Head of Service for TACT Peterborough, Sue King.

12. Training, support and review process

a) Once an applicant is approved as a prospective adopter, they will be supported by their

social worker through the process of family finding, waiting and being matched with

children.

b) Each area has an annual training programme and prospective adopters will be invited to

attend appropriate training. Specialist training is available for prospective adopters and

adoptive parents with children placed.

c) Prospective adopters are allocated an Adoption Social Worker.

d) The level and nature of post placement and post adoption support will be discussed at

the point of matching and included in the adoption support plan. It is regularly reviewed

and discussed between the adoptive parent(s), the placing local authority and the

adoption social worker on home visits, in formal reviews and supervision.


11 of 16

e) Support is offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via a duty system of Social Workers

and Social Work Managers. Information setting out details of this service is given to

adopters on placement.

f) Adoption support groups are provided and specialist training. Adopters are linked with

other support groups locally to them. Children and young people who are placed for

adoption and are adopted will be supported individually and through groups as and when

appropriate.

g) Regular mail outs promote events and training throughout the year. There are summer

and winter events in London and Peterborough for adoptive families.

h) A review is undertaken of each prospective adopter annually if a placement has not been

made. The social worker’s consultant social worker will consider this review. If the review

recommends an applicant is no longer suitable to adopt the review will be presented to

panel. The Adoption Panel considers this review and, where appropriate, makes

recommendations.

13. Matching and pre adoption support for the child

The match between a specific child and family will be considered by the adoption panel of the

placing authority. The TACT Adoption social worker will contribute to a matching report which

clearly sets out the assessed needs of the child and the ability of the proposed family to meet

those needs.

Once a child is placed with a TACT Adoption family for adoption, the child’s social worker from

the placing authority will be concerned with supporting the child in placement in order to ensure

that all aspects of the child’s welfare, safety and plans for the future are progressing

satisfactorily. The TACT Adoption social worker will work in partnership with the placing authority

to this end to the point of adoption and beyond if the need arises. The TACT adoption social

worker will work to support the adoptive parents in the parenting of the child/ren, offering

advice and guidance, recommending resources and ways forward.

If an adoption placement ends in an unplanned way or is at risk of doing so, the TACT Adoption

worker will assist the child’s social worker in convening a disruption meeting to evaluate what

has happened and to assist in planning for the future. The disruption report will be considered

by the TACT Adoption panel with particular reference to the learning for the future.

14. Post adoption support

A ‘letter box’ or indirect contact facility is provided through which birth families and adoptive

children and families can communicate as part of an agreed plan.

Direct contact between brothers and sisters and members of birth families is supported where

this is part of the adoption plan. This is supervised if needed by contact coordinators.

Adoption support assessments are incorporated into the referral process and identify the

presenting need and offer the family support swiftly. This may include signposting or referring

families on to a more appropriate service. Applications may be made to the Adoption Support

Fund to finance the therapy.

TACT has contacts with appropriate therapists and services. It also has staff trained in a range

of therapies such as VIPP-SD, theraplay and DDP. VIPP-SD is a NICE recommended evidence

based therapy for adopted children which was developed by the University of Leiden,

Netherlands and who are now working in partnership with the Tavistock and Portman.


12 of 16

TACT Peterborough children and adopters have access to a dedicated clinical psychology

service which offers consultations for social workers, and direct work for children, young people

and their parents. It provides Nurturing Attachment Groups to support adopters to develop their

therapeutic parenting skills and other specialist training.

15. Support for birth parents and families

TACT Peterborough offers a counselling service to birth parents and families of children for

whom the plan is adoption who are referred by the local authority. This is operated by

Adoptionplus who have two counsellors who offer weekly sessions.

Up to six counselling sessions are offered initially. Their purpose is to enable a birth family

member to express their sense of bereavement and loss, to help reconcile them to the adoption

plan and to contribute as positively as possible to the child’s future by way of photographs,

memorabilia and information. Further counselling sessions can be offered if there is capacity

in the service.

16. Support to adopted adults and their relatives

TACT Peterborough provides information and a counselling and intermediary service for

adopted adults and their relatives in accordance with Schedule 2 and 98 of the Adoption and

Children Act 2002.

The agency undertakes some searching for birth relatives of adopted adults and negotiates and

facilitates reunions. The agency can refer adopted adults to appropriate agencies for searching.

17. Complaints policy and procedure

TACT Peterborough believes that everyone has the right to receive a good service from the

agency as set out in the standards of its Customer Care Code.

This code provides the opportunity for people to comment on the service provided or to make

complaints about the service they have received from the agency.

TACT Peterborough recognises that sometimes it makes mistakes and that people’s comments,

including criticisms and compliments, are valuable in helping the agency to plan the way its

services will be delivered in the future. The agency listens and learns from what our customers

tell us.

A leaflet explaining the comments, compliments, complaints procedure is provided to every

enquirer when they first make an enquiry. There is discussion at the preparation course about

how to make a complaint.

The complaints procedure suggests that initially complaints are raised with the person

concerned, and if this is not possible or does not resolve the matter, the line manager will

investigate. Complainants can ask for an independent investigation or contact the relevant

registration and inspection body.

The Children’s Commissioner for England is there to consider children’s rights. Young people

can contact them directly if they feel their voices are not being heard or they are unhappy with

the service being provided and need an independent advocate. See below for contact details.
