from their primary carer. 2.6. There may be cases where a local authority identifies that, based on the evidence available and on its assessment of the case, the long term permanence plan for a child is likely to be adoption. The local authority may still be considering other outcomes for the child, and may still be attempting rehabilitation with family, but expects that adoption will become the plan should those alternatives not succeed. Local authorities must assess the appropriateness of placing the child in a FfA placement with dually approved carers on a case by case basis. 2.7. FfA builds on the experiences of concurrent planning and the principle of early permanence. Practice guidance on FfA was published by Coram, in partnership with BAAF, in June 2013. It is aimed at social workers and practitioners to help them think through the challenges of these types of placements and how these may be overcome. The guidance is available from Coram, BAAF and First4 Adoption websites. There is also a separate information leaflet for people who may be interested in FfA.

A new regulation 25A has been inserted into the Care Planning, Placement and Case Review (England) Regulations 2010 providing for the temporary approval of prospective adopters as foster carers for a named child where the child’s local authority are satisfied that placement with that person is the most appropriate placement for the child and is in his or her best interests.
