Leading charity for adoptive families, Adoption UK, has welcomed the announcement of the Government's much-anticipated Care Review.

As well as reforming what happens when a child enters care and is looked after, the review will consider changes to ‘the support provided for adoption’.

Adoption UK chief exec, Dr Sue Armstrong Brown, said: “The Care Review is a once in a generation opportunity to ensure every child who has had an unfair start in life is given an equal chance of a bright future.

"To be the truly radical review the government has promised, it must cover what happens when a child moves from the care system into adoption.

The Conservatives committed to reviewing the care system in its 2019 election manifesto.
