answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally. Individual decisions on adoption are ultimately taken by an independent judge based on the evidence presented.</p><p>Adverse childhood experiences such as neglect or abuse often cause lifelong problems. In most cases, local authorities will provide support so that children can remain with their birth families. However, for those children who cannot live with their birth parents, it is vital we find them permanent new homes as quickly as possible, whether that be by adoption, special guardianship or long-term fostering. Adoption can be transformative for many children and can provide them with the stability and care they need to recover from the trauma they may have experienced in early life.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 26/11/2018 12:12:21 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
