The information requested is not held centrally. The department does not collect data on specific adoption circumstances.<\/p>

Information on those children placed for adoption where consent is dispensed by the court is published annually in Table D1 of the statistical release, \u2018Children looked after in England including adoption: 2016 to 2017\u2019 at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2016-to-2017<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

Figures for the year ending 31 March 2018 will be published on 15 November 2018. These are circumstances where the court can dispense without the consent of a parent, to the placement and adoption of their child if the welfare of the child requires it. This may be a decision in some situations that is not in accordance with the parents\u2019 wishes.<\/p>

<\/p>

The welfare of a child is paramount and local authorities have a statutory duty to intervene to undertake child protection enquiries and to take action to safeguard and promote the child\u2019s welfare. However, decisions on adoption are ultimately taken by an independent judge based on the evidence presented.<\/p>
