In June 2015 in its document titled ‘Regionalising Adoption’, Central Government announced it wanted all Council Social Services teams to work more closely together over adoption measures so as to ease the red tape, pool vital resources and share more closely their experiences. The solution has been the creation of a number of Regional Adoption Agencies (RAA). The aim is to have the 19 RAA’s implemented by 2020. The RAA’s are clusters of Authorities that sit near each other geographically and ideally the number involved is around five.
RMP have been involved in a number of these cross-Council relationships and helped the parties involved to identify an insurance solution to the various risks and liabilities which flow from the collaborations. It must be stressed that each RAA is different and hence so can be the insurance solutions. They do however have common themes and below we set out one of the solutions adopted by the authorities in an RAA.
Each RAA will have a lead or host Authority and they will draw up the host agreement by which the Authorities involved will operate and work together. The host agreement will also reflect the desired and agreed insurance solutions.
