TACT: Michael Gove's speech shows a welcome change of tone, but adoption reform is only one part of the change we need to see

TACT agrees with the Minister for Education, Michael Gove, that more children should be adopted and unnecessary delay and bureaucracy reduced.

TACT, along with other charities in the sector, is currently planning an enquiry into permanence in care and hope to engage the government in this work.
