When children are being adopted the Children and Families Act 2014 aims to:  help the children and young people move in as quickly as possible to live with the families who might adopt them, make it easier to find adoptive parents for children and young people in the adoption process, help find more individuals who would like to adopt children and young people, give families a choice in who gives them  support after the adoption process, aim to make it easier for people who want to adopt a child and help them to look for the right child for them to adopt.
For children who are already in the care system and children who have been adopted, the Act aims to: make sure that the contact children have with their birth families after they’ve been taken into care or adopted doesn’t cause problems for the child, for example causing the child distress.

When children go into care, the Act aims to: help shorten the time taken by the family court to decide about a child’s future such as go into foster care or live within a children's home, get the court to think about the most important things for the decision about the child, and not spend time on other things such as considering how important it is for that child to have a family and to speed up the process so the court doesn’t need to keep making the same decision.
When parents split up, the Act aims to: help parents to see if they can better the situation, without having to go to court, help both parents to stay involved with their children, even if they have split up, make sure the court helps parents to do what is right for their child, not what parents might want to happen for themselves and help parents to stay involved in their children’s lives through special activities.

The Children and Families Act 2014, starts off as a bill which is then passed by parliament; receives royal assent which then allows the act to comes into force. The date, which is part of the title of the Act is an important part as it helps to distinguish between different acts which have the same name.Such as the Children Act 1975, 1989 and 2004 (Davis, 2014,p.25).
Edward Simpson was responsible for The Children and Families Act 2014 after spending years being a barrister within court and all acts which are passed by parliament become of British law (Department of Education, 2014).
