<p>The contract to administer the statutory Adoption Register came to an end in March
2019. Since the Register stopped operating, the government has not received any feedback
to suggest local authorities and adoption agencies are having difficulties in matching
children because the statutory register has closed. The department continues to monitor
matching of children with families and robust action will be taken if this changes.</p><p>
</p><p>As we set out on 18 June, we want to improve information and systems across
fostering and adoption sectors. We are exploring the feasibility of introducing a
system that can bring data together to support better communication and present it
in one place that is user-friendly. We are working with the sector and software providers
to test the best digital infrastructure to support adoption and fostering.</p>
