Member News: TACT’s Permanency Work Recognised as Best Practice

TACT’s permanency practice has been recognised in a new set of Good Practice in Permanence Guides commissioned by the Scottish Government.

The guides, developed by the Association of Fostering, Kinship and Adoption (AFKA) Scotland, are designed to strengthen permanency practice across the country. They will be shared with social work agencies, local authorities and university courses, supporting professionals and students to better understand what high‑quality permanency work looks like.

TACT features several times in the ‘Supporting Families in Permanence Guide’, specifically for our approach to preparing foster carers for permanence and for the work of our Education Service.

For TACT Scotland’s Specialist Permanence Social Worker, Tania Stuart, who contributed to the guides, seeing this recognition in print was a proud moment: “It’s fantastic that TACT has been highlighted as a good practice agency within permanence fostering. To be included several times in a Government‑commissioned guide really shows how much our commitment to high‑quality permanency support is valued.”

Tania attended the guide launch at the Scottish Government in Edinburgh, and was one of 50 professionals across practice, research and government who helped shape the guides.
