The government is poised to launch a national adoption action plan which will reform the current "bloated" system, education secretary Michael Gove will announce today.
In a speech this morning, Gove will describe the current system of assessment in adoption as "bloated" and will say it needs to be "entirely replaced".
Pre-adoption assessments need to be slimmed down, he will say, while adoption support needs to be beefed-up.
The reforms are also expected to outline controversial plans for performance indicators to help councils "measure how they're performing against each other and improve".
