New measures to help adoption

The Government has announced a new package of support for people who want to adopt

The Government has announced a new package of support for people who want to adopt, to ensure that more children get a stable, loving home without delays. The measures outlined, some of which will impact on employment rights, are designed to ensure potential adopters are given a much more active role, including in the matching process, and greater support. The package includes: (i) ensuring more paid leave for people adopting a child – bringing adoption pay and leave in line with that of biological parents when it comes to maternity and paternity leave; and (ii) giving adoptive parents the right to take time off work to meet the children they are set to adopt before they move in with the family, helping to make the transition as smooth as possible.
