CASA provides information on ASAs, peer support between agencies, networking opportunities, a representational forum and a channel for promoting best practice.
What is CASA?
CASA (the Consortium of Adoption Support Agencies) is a national forum representing registered Adoption Support Agencies (ASAs) in the UK, whether individuals or organisations.
What has CASA done?
Since its formal launch in 2006, CASA has been active on a number of fronts, including the following:
Working with Ministers and Civil Servants on proposals for revisions to the adoption support services available to adopters.
Brought together agencies and individuals in adoption support to share their work, knowledge and experience, including hosting a series of practice issues discussions.
Worked closely with the British Association of Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) and the Consortium of Voluntary Adoption Agencies on common issues.
We have also:
Worked with central government on the development of a commissioning framework for adoption support, and is represented on the Department for Education Adoption Stakeholder Group.
Worked with Ofsted to review national standards and inspection framework and highlight key adoption support issues and establish good communications with the sector.
