Adoption Support Services

Working closely with adoptive families, special guardians, and local authorities or adoption agencies to support children, young people, and their families in establishing loving and stable homes.

Therapeutic support for adoptive families

In the past, there has often been a lack of support for families navigating the adoptive process, especially when it comes to recognising and addressing issues related to mental health, trauma and attachment issues.

To address this, the government launched the Adoption Support Fund, providing easier access to essential therapeutic support.
