These Regulations prescribe certain matters for the purposes of the regime set out in sections 56 to 65 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (“the Act”) (disclosure of information in relation to a person’s adoption). The regime provides for adoption agencies to keep information about each adoption and to provide a service for persons seeking information about an adoption. The regime applies only in relation to adoptions on or after 30 December 2005. In relation to persons adopted before that day, the Adoption Agencies Regulations 1983 (S.I.1983/1964) will continue to have effect.
