Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

Article 112B of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 contains the powers under which the Department may make regulations entitling an employee to paternity leave. These Regulations, made under Article 112B(8) of that Order, provide for Article 112B to have effect, with modifications, in relation to an adoption from overseas. This means the adoption of a child who enters Northern Ireland from outside the United Kingdom in connection with or for the purposes of an adoption which does not involve the placement of the child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom.

Where Article 112B refers to the placement of a child, it is modified by these Regulations to refer to the entry of the child into Northern Ireland. Where Article 112B refers to the person with whom a child is placed, it is modified to refer to the child’s adopter.
