Draft Legislation on ethnicity and fostering for adoption
Two draft clauses were laid before Parliament on 7 November 2012 for pre-legislative scrutiny by the Select Committee on Adoption Legislation.
The draft clauses:
- place a duty on local authorities to give preference to a “Fostering for Adoption” placement
- remove the express duty on adoption agencies to give due consideration to religious persuasion, racial origin and cultural and linguistic background, when matching children with prospective adopters. This change reinforces the existing emphasis on the welfare of the child and the impact of any delay.
