125.These sections provide for the inspection of relevant adoption and fostering services. To a large extent these provisions mirror those in sections 31 and 32, which provide for similar powers to be exercised in relation to the regulation of independent fostering agencies and voluntary adoption agencies. The powers in these two sections are wide and are exercisable by a person so authorised by the registration authority.
