This pocket-sized handbook provides a comprehensive guide to the law, regulations, standards and guidance relating to adoption today… quick and easily available guidance for a range of professionals, not just adoption workers, but also social workers in court teams and Children Panel solicitors. This is a really useful handbook, a timesaving necessary reference guide.

This handy, pocket-sized guide is designed for adoption workers, who may at times need to remind themselves, or explain to others, points of law, policy or procedure around adoption. All the relevant law, regulations, rules and guidance are included. This is a very handy resource.
