Publisher's Synopsis
Written for social workers of looked-after children who are, or may be, placed for adoption in England, this guide takes the reader through the various stages, from planning adoption for a child through to contributing to the court report for the adoption order. It focuses on what legislation and standards require to be done; it points to useful forms and templates; it describes good practice and makes suggestions for further reading; and it aims to answer questions which social workers may have when they get involved in placing a child for adoption.
