About CoramBAAF forms
CoramBAAF publishes legally compliant health and social work report forms for adoption, fostering, kinship care and other care plans. These are widely used throughout the UK and are available to use under a licence agreement.
We know how important our forms are for practice and therefore updating them is a rigorous process. We recognise the potential impact these assessments and documents can have on those being assessed, those who come back to read their own records at a later date and decisions that are made. We want our forms to be as good as they can be, and we want them to be versatile enough to be used across different local authorities and agencies. To do this we take into account feedback, research, lived experience, learning from safeguarding reviews and practice knowledge, and ensure they are all legally compliant. We also pilot many of our forms to test them in practice before launching new updates.
Briefing sessions
As part of the launch of our forms, we host a number of briefing sessions to equip you with the right tools to complete an assessment using our forms. These free briefing sessions are 55 minutes and cover the core aspects of the form. The recordings are released within two weeks of the briefing sessions taking place.
