Beyond the Adoption Order: challenges, intervention, disruption

Selwyn, Wijedasa, Meakings · Department for Education

A major DfE study of post-order disruption and families in serious difficulty. Formal disruption was relatively uncommon overall, but severe difficulties and unmet support needs could emerge, particularly as children grew older.

Limitations: Disruption is only one measure of adoption experience; government report rather than journal article. Government or public-body commissioned/published research concerning adoption, care or education systems. Readers may take the commissioning/publication relationship and the body’s role in those systems into account.
