Award of the Therapeutic Pre and Post Adoption Order Support

AWARD ONLY OF:- Since the introduction of the Adoption Support Fund (ASF) in 2015, North Tyneside Council's Adoption Service have seen a significant rise in requests for Assessments of Support Needs. In the majority of cases the recommendation (and the adopters expressed wish) is for therapeutic intervention to support the child with attachment difficulties. The Authority is in the process of organising a provider event with a view to a tendering process following this market stimulation. This exercise will support both North Tyneside's Adoption Service's practice and Adopt North East after its launch.
