Adoption in England: the end of placements dictated by race, culture, religion and language

The authors discuss the practice by social workers and consequences of their decisions to minimise the placement of minority children with white adopters (along with other forms of alleged ethnic mis-matching) under s 1(5) of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (the 2002 Act) which required that 'due consideration' had to be given to the child's race, culture, religion and language. The views of the British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) and The College of Social Work (TCSW), in opposing the new law, the repeal of section (5) in England, are given, but in their view state 'if properly construed and applied,(it) should put an end to practices which are driven by race matching ideology' of social workers. In their conclusion the authors say the role of legal practitioners and the Courts is important in ensuring that the welfare of the child is put before ideological considerations. (Original abstract)
