Adoption and Permanence Panel

An Adoption and Permanence Panel is a group of professionals and community members who evaluate plans for long-term care of children who cannot stay with their birth families. They discuss and assess adoption applications, ensuring that the chosen families can provide safe, loving homes. The panel's role is to make informed recommendations to local authorities about whether to approve these adoption plans, focusing on the best interests of the child. Ultimately, the panel aims to support permanent, stable placements that promote the well-being and future development of the child in need.
