156 SCOPE OF THIS CHAPTER
156 </h2>
157 <p>
157 This chapter applies to disruptions of adoptive placements, which occur prior to an

target="_blank" rel="noopener">
157 Adoption Order
157 </a>
157 having been made. Where a disruption takes place after an Adoption Order has been made, a
Disruption Meeting may be held as part of the adoption support provided to the child and
adoptive family in which case the same principles as set out in this chapter may be followed.

163 Where an agency adoptive placement breaks down prior to the granting of an Adoption Order, a
Disruption Meeting must be held to identify the reasons for the breakdown and to learn lessons
from the events surrounding the breakdown.
163 <br />
164 <br />
165 The Disruption Meeting will be held no sooner than 28 days after and no later than 42 days after
the placement breaking down, and will follow a set agenda.
165 <br />
166 <br />
167 The Adoption Service will arrange for the meeting to be chaired independently by an experienced
practitioner or manager from outside the adoption service not involved in the line management of
the case responsible social worker;
167 <br />
168 <br />
169 </li>
170 <li>
170 The Disruption Meeting will be convened by the child's social worker, who will invite the
prospective adoptive parents, their social worker, the current carers, the child’s

170 and any other relevant people. The child’s social worker will also ensure that the child’s views
and feelings are given to the meeting in the most appropriate way;
171 </li>
172 <li>
172 The child’s social worker and the prospective adopters’ social worker should attend the Adoption
Panel to present a report from the Disruption Meeting. When this is considered, the Panel should
also receive copies of the Panel minutes recommending the adoption plan for the child, the
prospective adopters’ approval and the placement with the particular prospective adopters, to
enable learning points to be shared.
172 <br />
173 <br />
174 The child’s social worker should contact the Panel Administrator to book a date for the Adoption
Panel to consider the matter and the relevant documents should be sent to the Panel
Administrator 10 working days before the Panel meeting;

177 Adoption Placement Plan
177 </a>
177 is terminated before the adoptive placement takes place (i.e. during introductions), the
adoption social worker for an in-house approved family, or the child’s social worker in the case
of an inter agency placement, will prepare a report for the Adoption Panel. The report must
outline the reasons for the breakdown;
178 </li>
179 <li>
179 In all such cases, the Adoption Panel may consider whether the plan for the child should be
reviewed and/or whether the prospective adopters’ approval should be reconsidered, and these
issues may need to be further investigated and reports be presented to a subsequent meeting.
