The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Adoption and Permanence (APPGAP) is a cross-party group of Parliamentarians from both the House of Commons and the House of Lords who are working together to ensure adopted children and their families can thrive. The group was established in February 2019 and is currently chaired by Rachael Maskell MP. Home for Good provides joint secretariat for the group along with the charity Adoption UK.
The aim of the APPG for Adoption and Permanence is to:
The first inquiry considered the impact and future of the Adoption Support Fund, the findings of which are summarised in the Investing in Families report, published in July 2019.
In 2021, the group conducted an extensive inquiry on how to improve stability for adopted children and their families. This inquiry sought to contribute to the independent Review of Children’s Social Care, and the findings and recommendations are summarised in the Strengthening Families report, published in September 2021.
