Education and Adoption Bill

Debate between Lord Storey and Baroness Pinnock

Tuesday 1st December 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Storey]

My apologies.

[Baroness Pinnock]

I would like to add my support to what has been said about the amendments relating to establishing regional bodies for adoption. Just to give some local examples, in Yorkshire they have already set up a pilot for regional adoption, involving a hub for the whole of the region and then three spokes: one for the north and east of the country, one for the south and one for the west. Each of those hubs includes all the voluntary agencies currently operating in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
