Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when he plans to evaluate the performance of the Regional Adoption Agencies.
We have commissioned a longitudinal evaluation that will assess Regional Adoption Agencies impact on adoption services. This evaluation is being led by Ecorys with the Hadley Centre and it will conclude in 2020.
In ‘Adoption: A Vision for Change’, we committed to introducing Adoption Scorecards for Regional Adoption Agencies and we will be releasing more information in due course.
