Clause 20: Placement Orders

Adoption and Children Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at on 21 November 2001.

Alert me about debates like this

We welcome steps which simplify the child's legal route to adoption whilst maintaining such safeguards as are necessary. We endorse this because the threshold becomes comparable between Care Order and Placement Order and, thus, facilitates a twin-tracking approach to adoption, if this is deemed to be in the child's best interest.
