Excellent new guidelines for best practice in transitions into adoption

Building on our initial recommendations for future practice, the two child psychotherapists who succeeded us in Westminster Children's Services have have now developed an excellent new set of guidelines for professionals, using their own experiences in the field, and after careful consultation with social work colleagues, adopters and foster carers. These guidelines take our recommendations and develop them into a fully considered and fleshed out set of guidelines which we feel  are extremely helpful to all those involved in helping children to move between homes.   The document hasn't been finalised yet but the guidelines are already being implemented in Westminster and also form the basis of ongoing training and support for adopters, foster carers and social workers.
