Pan-London Adoption Bid
Verbal update
Minutes:
NOTED the verbal update given by the AD Safeguarding on the Pan-London Adoption bid. The latest update on the Pan-London Adoption bid was circulated to the Board earlier that day. The Committee noted that the bid had been narrowed down from five or six options to two. The next step was to undertake detailed investigations on the two options to assess their relative viability. The two options were noted as a local authority trading company delivery model with a strategic VAA partnership operating in a hub and spoke or a local authority/voluntary adoption agency joint venture operating in a hub and spoke.
*Clerks note – Cllr Stennett arrived at the meeting at this point*
