Tulip Siddiq – 2021 Comments on National Adoption Strategy

The comments made by Tulip Siddiq, the Shadow Minister for Children and Early Years, on 26 July 2021.

The Conservatives have created a postcode lottery in adoption.

This government has failed to ensure people from all backgrounds can easily adopt, and the result is hundreds fewer children in care are now being adopted.

Labour would put children at the heart of our pandemic recovery. It’s time the Conservatives match our ambition for every child, including rebuilding children’s services and fixing the adoption system.
