Fostering and Adoption Medical Advisory Service

Essex County Council are currently considering options for the delivery of the Fostering & Adoption Medical Advisory Service from April 2020. This is a statutory service which ensures the provision by appropriate health providers of the duties and responsibilities outlined in "The model job descriptions and competences for medical advisors in adoption and fostering" published by BAAF (British Association for Adoption and Fostering) October 2008 and the Guidance to both the Fostering and Adoption Regulations.

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to a market engagement session in order to set out our intentions and explore potential delivery models with providers. ECC therefore, invites you to a market event on Thursday 28th March 2.30pm-4.30pm in Chelmsford, venue to be confirmed. If you would like to attend this event please book your place by emailing neil.songer@essex.gov.uk whereby further details including the programme will be sent to you.
