Placement Sufficiency
There is a lot of work going on across the Region in this space. There has been a regional diagnostic of sufficiency arrangements that has identified trends, areas of good practice and opportunities for possible collaboration.
The Eastern Region have all 11 LAs committed to the DfE Fostering Recruitment and Retention Hub pathfinder.
The region is also working together in the children’s residential care space to establish if there are opportunities to collaborate and work together to improve outcomes for children and young people and create further sufficiency.
