Integrated Service – The Vision Sample Clauses

Integrated Service – The Vision. The Western Bay Adoption Service wishes to build on the success of three local authorities to improve performance in meeting the needs of those children who require permanence through adoption by bringing together the best practice from each authority into an Integrated Service. All partners and stakeholders are agreed that collaboration should be underpinned by two guiding principles; that looked after children and prospective adopters alike are advantaged by doing so and that a regional service is demonstrably more efficient and flexible in delivering the service. All partners and stakeholders are agreed that, good as current performance might be, it can and must be improved upon, most especially in reducing the time that children and young people have to wait for adoptive placements and improving the “experience” for prospective adopters from initial inquiry, through the assessment process, panel approval and placement matching and the delivery of post adoption support services. The amalgamation of services has been approved by Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot and Swansea. SCHEDULE 1 - PART 2 The Key Objectives Through collaboration and joint working the Key Objectives are:  To carry out the functions of the national adoption service and deliver a comprehensive adoption service on a regional level.  To ensure compliance with legislation, regulations, minimum standards, local procedures and the performance management framework set by the National Adoption Board.  To ensure that services are carried out in a timely & efficient way and based upon the assessed needs of those persons requiring the service.  To ensure that those persons seeking approval as adoptive parents are welcomed without prejudice and delay and that their applications are considered on their individual merit.  To develop a recruitment strategy which ensures a range of adoptive placements are available regionally or through external agencies to ensure timely placements for all children where the placement plan is adoption.  To provide a child focussed placement service to ensure that children are appropriately matched with adopters who can meet their needs throughout their childhood.  To work jointly with Health and Education Boards with a view to: o providing a range of pre & post adoption support and intermediary services in conjunction with statutory and voluntary sector providers.
