Local Authority Adoption Targets (EDM626)

Local Authority Adoption Targets

EDM number 626 in 2006-07, proposed by John Hemming on 15/01/2007.

That this House notes that local authorities and their staff are incentivised to ensure that children are adopted; is concerned about increasing numbers of babies being taken into care, not for the safety of the infant, but because they are easy to get adopted; and calls urgently for effective scrutiny of care proceedings to stop this from happening.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
