Following from an upbeat post of mine published on 21st July, relating to the positive statistics released on adoption successes in Wales. It has sadly been announced this week that the BAAF has now closed in England and alternative providers are being looked at for Wales.
Some of its functions in England have already transferred to the children’s charity and adoption agency - Coram and to a new entity - CoramBAAF Adoption & Fostering Academy.
The following functions will be provided by CoramBAAF:
- Research
- Policy & development
- Membership administration
- Professional advice & professional development
- Publications
- National adoption register for England
- National adoption week
- Adoption activity days
BAAF Wales will continue to trade on a limited basis for a brief period to allow consideration of options to transfer services and staff.
I will keep a close eye on developments relating to this news and if you have any questions regarding the legal aspect of adoption then please contact me.
