289 <p>
289 This procedure applies where allegations are made or suspicions are raised that approved
prospective adopters have caused Significant Harm to a child. It also applies where allegations
are made by or in relation to a child placed for adoption or a child already adopted and in
receipt of adoption support services. It may relate to recent abuse or neglect or historical abuse

308 <p>
308 All children are entitled to the same level and standard of protection from harm including those
receiving services from statutory or other agencies. For this reason, enquiries and investigations
relating to children in receipt of such services must be dealt with under the multi agency
Safeguarding Children Procedures.
308 </p>
309 <p>
309 Allegations or suspicions that a prospective adopter has caused Significant Harm or that a child
placed for adoption or already adopted and in receipt of adoption support services has suffered
Significant Harm to a child will be investigated thoroughly, speedily and sensitively under those
procedures and will involve open and honest communication with and support to all those affected.
309 </p>
310 <p>
310 Historical allegations by children placed for adoption or already adopted and in receipt of
adoption support services should be responded to in the same way as contemporary concerns. It will
be important to ascertain if the person about whom the allegation is made is currently working
with children and if that is the case, to consider whether the current employer should be
informed.
310 </p>
311 <p>
311 Clear timescales will be integral to the procedure and those involved must avoid delay unless
there is good reason. There will be clarity regarding access to reports and documents relating to
the investigation.
311 </p>
312 <p>
312 Where allegations are made in relation to prospective adopters, the welfare and safety of all
children in the prospective adopters' household, and children with whom the prospective adopters
may have contact, must also be considered during any Section 47 Enquiry.
312 </p>
313 <p>
313 In relation to any allegations made, it is important to note that, although there may be
insufficient evidence to support a Police prosecution, this does not mean that action cannot be
taken to protect a child nor, for example, that the termination of a prospective adopter's
approval cannot be considered.
313 </p>
314 <h3 id="introduction">
314 2. Introduction

315 <p>
315 The expectation is that:
315 </p>
316 <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
317 <li>
317 At the time of a child's placement, prospective adopters will be provided with detailed
information as to the child's background and in particular the context of any abusive
experiences of and/or previous allegations made by the child - see
317 <a href="p_place_adop.html">
317 Placement for Adoption Procedure

319 All prospective adopters will have received information about this procedure.
319 </li>
320 </ol>
321 <p>
321 In addition, in relation to the Adoption Service, it is an expectation of the Adoption National
Minimum Standards 2011 that:
321 </p>
322 <ul>
323 <li>
323 A senior manager within the Adoption Service is identified to be the designated allegations
manager who liaises with the LADO in all cases to which this procedure applies and manages the
allegations process;

327 </h4>
328 <p>
328 Any person who receives information or suspects that a child has suffered or is suffering
Significant Harm in an adoptive placement or during an introduction to an adoptive placement must
immediately inform the child's social worker.
328 </p>
329 <p>
329 On receipt of any such information, the child's social worker must immediately:
329 </p>
330 <ul>
331 <li>
331 Inform his or her line manager;
331 </li>
332 <li>
332 Inform the prospective adopter's link worker and his or her manager;
332 </li>
333 <li>
333 Inform the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) and the Designated Senior Manager so that a
decision can be made as to whether the matter should be treated as a child protection matter and
referred for a Strategy Meeting (see below) or a concern about standards of care, in which case
the convening of an urgent Placement Planning Review Meeting - see
333 <a href="p_place_adop.html">
333 Placement for Adoption Procedure

334 </ul>
335 <p>
335 <span class="bold">
335 N.B.

335 If there are serious and/or multiple referrals about standards of care, it may still be
appropriate to refer the matter for a Strategy Meeting for a full investigation.
335 </p>
336 <p>
336 The prospective adopter's link worker will:
336 </p>
337 <ul>
338 <li>
338 Inform the designated allegations manager within the Adoption Service - see
338 <a href="#introduction">
338 Section 2, Introduction
338 </a>
338 ; and, in consultation with the designated allegations manager;
338 </li>
339 <li>
339 Inform the social workers for any other child in the placement;
339 </li>
340 <li>
340 Inform any other local authority with an interest in the adoptive placement;
340 </li>
341 <li>
341 Provide support to the prospective adopter.
341 </li>
342 </ul>
343 <p>
343 Where it is appropriate to treat the allegation/suspicion as a child protection concern, the
child's social worker will be responsible for initiating the multi agency Safeguarding Children
Procedures in relation to the allegation/suspicion, unless the prospective adopter lives in
another local authority area, in which case the child's social worker will make a referral to the
relevant local authority and that local authority will be responsible for implementing their own

344 <p>
344 In either case, a Strategy Meeting will be convened as soon as possible after concerns have been
identified and within a maximum of 2 working days of the referral.
344 </p>
345 <p>
345 Any action to protect the child in question or any other children in need of protection should not
be delayed because of the Strategy Meeting.
345 </p>
346 <p>
346 Prior to the Strategy Meeting, the prospective adopter's link worker should notify the Regulatory
Authority of the allegation/suspicion and invite them to be represented at the Strategy Meeting.

347 <span class="bold">
347 N.B.

347 Where a child who has already been adopted but is still in receipt of adoption support services
makes an allegation of abuse, including where the allegation is of historical abuse, this must be
referred to the child's social worker/adoption support worker, who will take the action set out
below or, as appropriate, make a referral to Children's Social Care Services for the area where
the child lives in order that the relevant Safeguarding Children Procedures can be followed.

383 </p>
384 <p>
384 Depending on the level and nature of any concerns and whether they are immediate, the prospective
adopters may be given the opportunity to respond to the allegations before any final decision is
made about necessary action to protect the child and other children in the household. Such
protective action may include asking the person against whom the allegation has been made to leave
the household while the investigation is conducted.
384 </p>
385 <p>
385 Any decision to suspend the approval of the prospective adopter while the investigation is being
conducted should be communicated in writing to the prospective adopter by the Adoptive Service
Manager.
385 </p>
386 <p>
386 Those supporting the prospective adopters must contact the prospective adopters as soon as
practicable after they are made aware of the allegation, and explain their role. They must make
clear their responsibility to report to the local authority, the Police and in some circumstances
to the Court if any information relevant to the investigation comes to their attention.
386 </p>
387 <p>
387 They must provide to the prospective adopters:
387 </p>
388 <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
389 <li>
389 A copy of this procedure and the relevant

391 </li>
392 </ol>
393 <p>
393 Where the prospective adopters are in receipt of financial support, they should be informed of any
implications for the payment of such support, where placements have been suspended.
393 </p>
394 <p>
394 If an Initial Child Protection Conference is convened, the Conference Chair must be consulted in
advance to discuss whether the prospective adopters should be invited to attend. In any event, the
prospective adopters' views must be obtained for and communicated to the Conference.

395 3.4 Concluding the Investigation
395 </h4>
396 <p>
396 The Strategy Meeting will usually be reconvened once an investigation has been completed,
particularly where no child protection conference is then held. The same people will be invited
and the same person will chair the meeting.
396 </p>
397 <p>
397 The purpose of the reconvened Strategy Meeting is to agree on the outcome of the investigation and
responsibilities for any further action, including the need to call an urgent review of the
adoptive placement - see
397 <a href="p_adoption_reviews.html">
397 Adoption Reviews Procedure
397 </a>
397 and reporting on the matter to the Adoption Panel - and the need to make a referral to the
Disclosure and Barring Service for inclusion of the person on the Children's Barred List.
397 </p>
398 <p>
398 The meeting should determine who will write to the prospective adopters, informing them of the
outcome of the investigation.
398 </p>
399 <p>
399 The child, the parents, other relevant agencies and the Regulatory Authority (if not in
attendance) will also be informed of the decisions made at the meeting. The Chair and the
child's social worker will agree the most appropriate way of informing the child and parents, and
also who will notify the other agencies and the Regulatory Authority.
399 </p>
400 <p>
400 A report should be presented to the next available Adoption Panel. As well as the investigation,
the report should address the ability of the approved adopters to help come to terms with past
events and to handle future behaviour, and whether the proposed placement or placement continues
to be suitable. The procedure to be followed will be the same as for reviews of prospective
adopter's approval - see
400 <a href="p_assess_approval.html">
400 Assessment and Approvals of Prospective Adopters Procedure
400 </a>
400 .
400 </p>
401 <p>
401 The social worker preparing the report should consult with the Panel Adviser to the Adoption Panel
and the Chair of the Adoption Panel who will advise on who should attend the Panel meeting
(usually the child's social worker and the prospective adopter's link worker) and whether or not a
special Panel meeting should be convened.
401 </p>
402 <p>
402 Any allegation made against a prospective adopter or a member of the household and how it was
dealt with and decisions made should be recorded on the prospective adopters' file and retained
for 100 years after the adoption order is made or if no adoption order is made in accordance with
local policy: adoption support agencies should have written procedures for dealing with
allegations of historical abuse which may be made by service users during the course of service
provision.
402 </p>
403 <p>
403 All relevant documents in relation to the investigation, whatever the outcome, must be retained on
the child's file and the prospective adopter's file, and their respective Adoption Case Records.
403 </p>
404 <p>
404 Consideration should be given to holding a debriefing meeting for all involved as to the impact of
the allegations and the investigation, whatever the outcome, and any necessary assistance should
be made available as necessary.
