Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Adoption Information and Intermediary Services (Pre-commencement Adoptions) (Wales) Regulations 2005 (“the Principal Regulations”) make provision under section 98 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (“the Act”) for the purposes of assisting persons adopted before 30 December 2005 to obtain information about their adoption and to facilitate contact between those persons and their birth relatives through an intermediary service.

These Regulations correct two incorrect numbering references within the Principal Regulations.

The Principal Regulations are not yet in force and these amendments will have effect from the moment the Principal Regulations come into force.
