Ofsted has rated our service as ‘Outstanding’ on each of the five occasions we have been inspected, most recently in 2024.

Ofsted commended adoption support
Our adoption support services have been particularly praised by Ofsted. Here are some extracts from our most recent inspection report:
- "Children make outstanding progress. They flourish in the care of their adoptive families, who enable them to have a wide range of experiences and new opportunities that enrich their lives. The agency educates and supports adopters on the importance of identity, through training and ongoing support. As a result, parents promote individuality and children develop a true sense of self."
- “Adopters are praised for their hard work and commitment to ensuring children have loving and nurturing homes where they thrive.”
- "Information evenings for prospective adopters are welcoming, informative and person-centred."
- “Adopters find assessment positive because of skilled staff who support and guide them throughout the process.”
- “Children are actively listened to and supported to share their thoughts and feelings. For example, life-story work harnesses children’s individuality.”
- “Adoption support is easily accessible and well promoted. Adopters receive a quick response from a highly trained and dedicated staff team who assess and meet the needs of adopters and children effectively.”
