About

London Borough of Hackney awarded a contract to Coral Community Assessments Ltd for the delivery of Form K assessments, support plans, and bespoke support packages for potential connected carers in Hackney.

As part of the Fostering Futures Transformation Programme, this time-limited pilot aimed to increase foster carer retention by providing timely assessment and dedicated support during the initial 12–16 week placement period.

The service targeted arrangements where a child is formally looked after by the Local Authority and living with a friend or family member assessed to become their official connected carer.

The pilot evaluated how integrated assessment and support could prevent placement breakdowns and reduce escalation to mainstream care, while addressing internal capacity gaps within the Corporate Parenting Service.

The contract value was AUD 30,000.
