Post adoption services
The post adoption team provides support
services to those involved in adoption.
Services are available to anyone involved in
adoption or special guardianship. This includes children and adults
who are adopted, birth relatives, adoptive families and those
affected by special
guardianship orders. Inter-country
adopters receive a reduced service.
The following services are available:
- Support assessments - The team will assess the needs of the
family on request to see whether they qualify for support
services.
- Financial support - The team can (for eligible families) access
a range of financial support. Some financial assistance is means
tested but full details about this can be obtained from the post
adoption duty officer.
- For adoptive adults we offer advice, support and assistance to
those wishing to access their records, trace birth relatives and
reunite.
- Training and support groups are available four times per year
covering a variety of topics
- The Adoption Newsletter is available to those wanting to
maintain links with the work of the service
- A number of annual events for adopters, adopted adults and
birth parents are held during the year
