Kinship

[Bonkerz]

So I've had my initial assessment for fostering/ kinship for my nephews daughter.
What is the next process and how long am I looking at???

Sorry that message seems quite blunt.

Basically I was approached by my nephew to put myself forward to take on his daughter. She is 19m and stuck in the system. Currently she is in foster care (taken due to drugs and DV by both parents never any harm to child)
They have been to court 3 times and each time the judge says not enough evidence for adoption so me taking her is a viable option.

I had a 4 hour interview with a social worker who has put forward a positive recommendation.

What's the protocol now?

Just for reference I am a home owner, single parent , work full time as a childminder so able to care for her immediately. We have space if I move things around bedroom wise. Have enhanced DBS and obviously house is registered and inspected by ofsted anyway and I have a degree in childhood studies!

Hi sorry nobody has responded yet, has your social worker given you any idea of what might happen next?
