The Coram Centre for Early Permanence is dedicated to providing more children in care proceedings with the opportunity to live with their forever family at the earliest possible stage – therefore improving their chances of a happy and healthy future.
We particularly focus on children under the age of 24 months, as early years are crucial in child development. Permanence can be provided by either return to the care of parents and extended kin, or by adoption.
