Julie Selwyn, Director of the Hadley Centre for Adoption and Foster Care Studies and Senior Lecturer at the School for Policy Studies, has been asked by the Prime Minister to be part of the four-person assessment panel reviewing the impact of the Sexual Orientation Regulations on faith-based adoption and fostering agencies.
