Children and Families Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 February 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Children and Families Bill.

I am grateful. The Minister has made a good point about getting the balance right between speed of adoption and avoiding rushing, leading to breakdown and the damage that that does to children and families. What are his plans to increase the number of potential adopters coming forward? He rightly mentioned support. The No. 1 issue that could be addressed by the authorities is increasing the number of people who are prepared to adopt and who have the support to do so.
