Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) A Failure of Proportion: Non-Consensual Adoption in England and Wales 2020 by Dr Samantha M Davey
This book focuses on the circumstances in which non-consensual adoption may be regarded as a proportionate measure and when less severe forms of intervention e.g. long-term foster care or kinship care may also meet children’s needs while protecting their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. The book emphasises the need to scrutinise children’s and parents’ rights throughout the process not simply when parents appeal against the making of an adoption order and to consider key provisions from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child when determining whether an adoption order is a proportionate measure.
