Contact Between Children in Care or Adopted Children and Their Families: Research

The
Nuffield Family Justice Observatory (FJO) has published a briefing paper on six
key messages from research into contact between children in care or adopted
children and their families. The key messages are:

• Focus on the quality of contact.
• Listen to the views of children and young people.
• Recognise the significance of siblings, grandparents, wider family and friends.
• Ensure that all involved are clear about the purpose of contact.
• Ensure that contact plans are tailored to each child and regularly reviewed.
• Ensure skilled professional support is available.
