Request for number of Black children put for adoption by Bury Local Authority

We're waiting for Solwandle Nkala to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Bury Metropolitan Borough Council,

I am making a Freedom of Information request regarding the number of Black African children that Bury has put up for adoption since 2010 and the number of said children that were in the same period rehabilitated to their parents or extended family's care. What, if any are the bonuses that Bury Local Authority , gives social workers on successfully getting an adoption order approved by the courts.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Solwandle Nkala & Mr Gift Moyo
