The bill was presented to the House of Commons on 3 June 2015 by Nicky Morgan the Secretary of State for Education.
The measures in the Act are also designed to speed up the adoption process by the Secretary of State requiring local authorities to make arrangements for their adoption functions (recruitment, assessment and approval) to be carried out by another adoption agency.
The Act makes amendments to the Education Act 2011, Academies Act 2010, Education and Inspections Act 2006.
The bill started in the House of Commons, which passed to the House of Lords, and then received the Royal Assent.[1]
