(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations come into force on 4th October 2018 and amend the Adoption and Children Act Register (Search and Inspection) Regulations 2017 (‘the 2017 Regulations’).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 4 of the 2017 Regulations which provides for the search and inspection of the register by a prospective adopter (“P”) who has undertaken to comply with provisions relating to the protection of information received as a result of searching or inspecting the register and who has not previously breached the provisions. In all circumstances, P may search and inspect the information specified in regulation 4(5). Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 4(5) to prescribe three additional pieces of information that the Secretary of State must make available and that P may search and inspect. Those additional pieces of information are the child’s (“C”) first name, details of any geographical considerations relating to C’s placement and C’s health history, including C’s family history where available.
