The Early Permanence (EP) Recommendation Analysis Form is a tool used to assess and document decisions about whether prospective adopters are suitable for Early Permanence placements. It helps social workers and adoption professionals record the reasons for not recommending EP and explore potential support that could change this outcome. The form encourages professionals to identify if any specific EP scenarios might still be suitable for the prospective adopters, ensuring that all options are explored before a final decision is made. This process ensures transparency, consistency, and fairness in decision-making, prioritising the best interests of the child while supporting prospective adopters in their journey.
