The Government wants to see a large rise in the use of adoption as a means of giving children a secure, loving and permanent home. Guidance coming into effect from April calls for a more pragmatic approach to adoption placements, and calls for the active promotion of the adoption process by health and social care professionals. District nurses will encounter people interested in becoming prospective adopters, but who are unsure if their background or lifestyle makes them eligible. It is essential that district nurses have a working understanding of the guidance and provisions of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 to confidently advise others about adoption and clarify any issues raised.
政府希望看到收养作为一种为儿童提供安全、充满爱且永久家庭的方式的使用率大幅上升。4月起生效的指导意见要求对收养安置采取更务实的方法，并呼吁健康和社会护理专业人员积极推动收养程序。社区护士会遇到有兴趣成为准收养人的人，但他们不确定自己的背景或生活方式是否符合条件。社区护士必须切实了解2002年《收养与儿童法》的指导意见和条款，以便自信地为他人提供收养建议并澄清提出的任何问题。
