This Open Access book presents unique evidence from the first
comprehensive study of the outcomes of open adoption from care in
Australia. It contributes to the international debate concerning
the advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face post adoption
contact with birth families. The chapters assess whether adoption
provides a better chance of permanence and more positive outcomes
than long-term foster care for abused and neglected children in
care who cannot safely return to their birth families. They also
explore whether open adoption can avoid some of the detrimental
consequences of past policies in which adoption was shrouded in
secrecy and children frequently grew up with a conflicted sense of
identity. The book will appeal to policy makers, practitioners and
students of social policy, social work, the law, psychology and
psychiatry. It should also be of interest to adult adoptees and
adoptive parents, whose experiences it reflects.

The Integrated Children's System (ICS) is part of the British
government's long term program to improve outcomes and life chances
for children. The ICS is an inter-agency framework designed to hold
information about children and enable easy reference, communication
and shared access between different elements of children's
services. The ICS was developed to support effective practice with
children and families and improve decision making and planning for
children in need. The system provides a more structured and
systematic approach by integrating the processes of working with
children in need from the point of first contact through to the
final review. This book outlines what the ICS is, how it works and
how to ensure that it is implemented effectively. Drawing on the
findings of several pilot projects, this book will be a valuable
source of guidance for those using and implementing the database,
policymakers and social care managers.
