Consultation description
We’d like your views on proposed changes to the Adoption and Children (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 that were introduced to provide local authorities and children’s social care providers with temporary flexibilities during coronavirus (COVID-19).
The amendments are temporary and will expire on 25 September 2020, we would like to extend a small number of these to manage future challenges.
