Adoption support that works for all (views of Children and young people)

Overview

Every child should grow up feeling safe, loved, and supported. Being adopted or cared for by relatives can make this happen for many children who have had a tough start in life.  

But sometimes we all need a bit of extra help. This help can be from social workers, health workers, schools, and community groups. These people should work together, so children and their families get the right support at the right time. 

Why your views matter

If anything is unclear, you can ask a trusted adult, like a parent, teacher, or social worker, to explain it.

If something you read worries you, talk to an adult you trust or reach out to one of the support services available to help you
