The assessment process for prospective adopters in England
| The assessment process for prospective adopters in England is to be overhauled, Tim Loughton has announced. An expert panel will work alongside Martin Narey, the Government’s Adoption Adviser, to draw up a new process to recruit, train and assess people as adoptive parents with the aim of finding a more streamlined, less bureaucratic and quicker process. |
