Clinical psychologists

breen July 25, 2009 12:46
Dh and I are having a meeting with Zig and Zag''s sw following on from a link and before the matching panel. I have been given a list of people who are also present, one of whom is a clinical psychologist. In previous conversations and reports, there has been no mention of a cp being involved. Are they routinely involved with pre-adoption children? Zig and Zag are 3 and 5.Breen

They can't be routinely involved because we never came across one, so I assume there is a reason.Ask your sw to clarify why cp is attending..Good luckx

I know in our area they only get a CP involved if they really have to as they prefer all work (therapy/counselling) to be done when the child is in a permanent placement, so I would definitely ask why a CP is involved.

Also, why has there been no CP report included in the CPR?

Hi Definitely clarify why a CP is involved but it may not neccessarily be the children who were assessed though, it could have been the birth parents(s) prior to the placement order being made, as part of the process of deciding the best future outcome for the children.Whatever the reason it is good that the CP will be at the meeting because you will be able to speak to them directly.best wishesBB
