Review arrangements for sibling contact where siblings are separated

What the petition asks
The Government should review current arrangements for maintaining contact between siblings where they are separated – for example when one sibling is adopted – and implement reforms to ensure that siblings are able to maintain contact following separation.
Because many children left in care can lose a part of their family when they are separated from a sibling, and can worry about siblings who they may have no contact with.
