- Help text
- This includes adoption allowances for paid and other staff, overhead costs associated with adoption (including the costs of social workers seeking new / supporting existing adoptive parents) and costs related to adoption support (e.g. cost of therapeutic services).
NOTE: Adoption support services are defined as: Financial support; Services to enable groups of adoptive children, adoptive and natural parents or former guardians of an adoptive child to discuss matters relating to adoption; Assistance, including mediation services, in relation to contact between an adoptive child and a natural parent, natural sibling, former guardian or a related person; Therapeutic services for the adoptive child; Assistance to ensure the relation between an adopted child and his or her adoptive parents continue, (includes training for adoptive parents to meet any special needs of the child); Respite care; Assistance before and after the adoption order, where the placement/arrangement is in danger of disrupting; Counselling, advice and information.
Gross figures are actual total estimated costs of the activities before allowance for any expected income, but after allowing for any “buyback” income from the authority’s own schools to avoid double counting. Both expenditure and income should be excluded where LA maintained schools are buying services.
