The Care Inquiry will collect evidence on the different ways of giving children in care a steady home life and the support they need to develop a positive identity.
It has been set up by Adoption UK, the British Association of Adoption & Fostering (BAAF), Family Rights Group, the Fostering Network, Research in Practice, Tact, the Together Trust and The Who Cares? Trust.
The inquiry will examine evidence at three sessions in November, December and January, with a final report due to be published by spring 2013, including recommendations to local and central government.
The chief executives of the charities have written an open letter to Prime Minister David Cameron stating that emphasis of the care system must be on “finding homes that meet a child's needs and on avoiding unnecessary delays”.
