Decision making in fostering and carer medicals: what the biggest challenges teach us and how best practice can be achieved

We will be joined by Ellie Johnson, CoramBAAF Health Consultant, and Dr Lorna MacColl, Fostering Medical Advisor, who will provide an expert overview of the current practice challenges associated with carer medicals and outline approaches to achieving best practice.

The webinar will also examine the broader complexities of decision‑making within fostering, with particular attention to the respective roles of the agency decision maker and the fostering panel.

It will explore current practice challenges and consider how greater consistency and adherence to best practice can strengthen decisions and recommendations, supporting improved outcomes for children and fostering families and contributing to carer retention.
