Critically assess whether parents have enough chances to challenge placement and adoption orders in the case of contested adoption. [5 pgs]

Explain the stages that need to be completed in order to get to an adoption order (care order (S31), placement order, adoption order)

Refer to:

- specific case law and what was held and analyses of what this shows, the significance of the decisions and quotes from specific judges in the cases (at least 6)

- opinions of academics and critics and quotes from their works and articles (at least 4)

- specific statutory laws and what they say

- specific Law Commissions Reports and what they say

Follow a PEAL structure, with the points being clear and the evidence being applied to each point individually.

What is the actual structure of the essay? I know I want to ultimately conclude that parents are not given enough chance to contest placement and adoption orders, but I'm confused on how to phrase it.

These are the cases I want to include and discuss:

-AX & BX

- Re A

- Re B (A Child)

- Re J-A

- Re P (A Child)

- Re W

- HX v A Local Authority (Application to Revoke Adoption Order)

- YC v UK

Answer using PEAL structure.

Conclude: The law does not award parents with

sufficient opportunities to challenge placement orders. Reform and clarification is needed in this area of law. (Suggest ways in which reform can be achieved).
