The Public Law Working Group has published a report on adoption best practice in England and Wales. The report covers five areas: contact with birth families; access to records; practice and procedure in placement and adoption applications; adoptions with an international element; and adoption by consent. Recommendations include that adopted children should have more opportunity for face-to-face contact with their birth families unless it is not safe, and better access to their records.
