This document contains the national minimum standards applicable to adoption support agencies (ASAs) and those who wish to be registered as ASAs in England. Along with the Adoption Support Agencies (England) and Adoption Agencies (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2005, these standards form the basis of the new regulatory framework under the Care Standards Act 2000 for the regulation of ASAs in England by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI).
These standards are published by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills under section 23(1) of the Care Standards Act 2000 and apply from 30 December 2005 unless otherwise stated in any standard. The Secretary of State will keep the standards under review and may publish amended statements as appropriate.
