Following on from information in my blog post back in August it was announced last week, that after the closure of BAAF - British Association of Adoption and Fostering - that the adoption register in Wales will now be run by the country’s National Adoption Service.
Mark Drakeford - the health and social services minister for Wales commented:
‘As soon as we became aware of BAAF’s plans to close, we negotiated with its administrators to ensure services remained stable for an extra six weeks to support vulnerable children and assist people seeking to foster and adopt.’
It has also been announced that St David’s Children’s society has set up a new body that will offer training, legal advice and an advice line for the public. This will be known as the Association for Fostering and Adoption Cymru and will look to recruit former BAAF staff.
