The CCP Service - end of an era
Our Concurrent Planning Service, run in partnership with Caritas Care, ended in May 2024. Launching in 2014 and growing to be the largest service of its kind in the country, placing 187 children with our carers and welcoming 146 new carers to the service. Due to changes in the adoption landscape, it meant that we needed to adapt and move our concurrent planning staff back into their respective agencies, to bring their early permanence expertise to our adoption teams. The service was innovative, pioneering and adaptable, constantly changing to meet the needs of children waiting. A service which led the way in the Early Permanence arena and our work has helped pave the way for many of the services now embedded across the country helping hundreds more children and families. We are so very proud of that.
