Local Authority Adoption Targets (EDM124)

Local Authority Adoption Targets

EDM number 124 in 2007-08, proposed by John Hemming on 07/11/2007.
Categorised under the topic of Children's social services.

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 19 MPs.
