Remove the automatic exclusion policy for fostering/adopting
The current policy of automatically excluding someone from fostering or adopting a child if one of their family members has been convicted of a serious crime should be scrapped. We believe that the potential adopter or foster carer should not be judged by the actions of a convicted family member.
Local authorities are closing application before they have fully assessed any risk to the child. If the conviction has passed and the family member has served their time, adopters and foster carers, should be allowed to get on with their lives without being impacted by the past actions of family members
There are children out there that need a place to call home and a supportive family. Automatic exclusions are stopping several people from fostering/adopting.
