Our Form F Assessments provide an in-depth, evidence-based evaluation of individuals or couples who wish to become foster carers. The assessment process explores the applicant’s background, motivation, experience, and personal qualities to determine their capacity to provide stable, loving, and secure homes for children in need of care.

Working in close partnership with local authorities and fostering agencies, our assessors follow the CoramBAAF framework to ensure every Form F report meets professional and regulatory standards. We combine empathy with professionalism, recognising that every applicant’s journey is unique.

What the assessment includes:

• Detailed interviews and life story work with applicants and household members

• Verification of identity, health, financial stability, and safety of the home environment

• Exploration of motivation to foster, relationships, and support systems

• Analysis of understanding around safeguarding, attachment, and trauma

• Comprehensive written report with recommendations for fostering panel consideration

Our aim is to deliver thorough, balanced assessments that help decision-makers match children with the most suitable carers, creating opportunities for lasting, positive placements.
