Adoption and Foster Care
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of guidelines and practices used balancing between improving access to adoption and foster services for accredited prospective parents ensuring the safety of children in care.
- Answer
-
The Department for Education has not made a formal assessment of the effectiveness of these guidelines and practices for approved adopters. However, there are clear eligibility criteria and statutory guidance on approving and assessing prospective adopters and foster carers.[1] The Government believes that these standards provide adequate safeguards for children in care.
