A single inspection of voluntary adoption agencies

This consultation seeks your views on proposed changes to the inspection of voluntary adoption agencies.

We propose that:

• all voluntary adoption agencies will receive one inspection in a 3-year period and one overall judgement irrespective of the number of premises they use
• the notice period for the inspection of voluntary adoption agencies is reduced from 10 working days to 2 working days

The consultation questionnaire can be found at the end of the consultation document. The document is available in 2 formats:

• the Word version of the questionnaire can be filled in by hand or on your computer
• the PDF version of the questionnaire can be filled in by hand

You can also download the consultation document in either format and then complete the online questionnaire.
