answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2022 answer text <p>Local authorities have a legal duty to provide a comprehensive adoption service. This specifically includes 'Assistance, including mediation services, in relation to arrangements for contact between an adoptive child and a natural parent, natural sibling, former guardian or a related person of the adoptive child', as set out in Adoption Support Services Regulations 2005. It be found at: <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/691/part/2/made?view=plain" target="_blank">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/691/part/2/made?view=plain</a>. Contact arrangements should be reviewed regularly, and families should be supported with the contact arrangements before, during and after the adoption.</p><p>As set out in our 'Adoption Strategy: achieving excellence everywhere', the department is working with Regional Adoption Agencies (RAAs) to develop and trial what good practice around contact looks like, with a view to setting national standards in this area. This includes investigating what support is needed for children, birth parents, and adoptive parents. RAAs are also currently trialling a new programme called ‘Letterswap', a new digital platform to improve the current ‘Letterbox’ system. The published adoption strategy is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adoption-strategy-achieving-excellence-everywhere" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adoption-strategy-achieving-excellence-everywhere</a>.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran grouped question UIN HL1544 HL1545 question first answered 20/07/2022 15:56:43 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

uin	HL1546
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2020 answer text <p>The Zimbabwean economy faces severe challenges and the economic situation remains fragile. Our Embassy in Harare continues to monitor developments closely, encouraging the Government of Zimbabwe to implement the Staff Monitored Programme (which runs until March this year) agreed with the International Monetary Fund. Our Ambassador discussed the economic crisis facing the country and reinforced the need for comprehensive political and economic reform and the protection of the poorest during her meeting with Vice President Chiwenga on 9 December 2019.</p><p>Humanitarian needs are rising in Zimbabwe due to the combination of poor and erratic rains and a deteriorating economic situation. Recent analysis shows that without support 5.5 million people in rural areas and 2.2 million in urban areas will not have access to the food they need. This represents 47% of the total population and 59% of rural population. In response to these needs, the Department for International Development has committed £49 million through a new Zimbabwe Humanitarian and Resilience Programme to support people who do not have access to the food they need.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/02/2020 15:26:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
