Published
We have received a response from Janet Daby MP, Minister for Children and Families, regarding Full Council Motion 939 (see full motion below).
Motion 939: Apology for the historic forced adoption of children of unmarried women
Council therefore resolves:
- To call on the Children and Families Scrutiny Committee to consider how the Council can better signpost victims to the information and services available via Adoption West for those affected locally to deal with the impact of the historic forced adoptions.
- To call on Government to review if there are any other barriers that can be removed to help victims, such as providing specialised counselling services reforms to the sharing of medical information and the removal of administrative barriers.
