Cornwall Council’s adoption service, which also covers the Isles of Scilly, is to join the Regional Adoption Agency, Adopt South West, from April 2024.
Cornwall, including the Isles of Scilly, will be joining the region already covered by Adopt South West, which includes the local authority areas of, Devon, Plymouth, Torbay and Somerset.
Adopt South West was established in 2018, bringing together adoption teams from neighbouring authorities, combining their resources and expertise to improve the experiences of adopted children and adopters.
Regional Adoption Agencies were established to improve the recruitment of adopters, to help children move into their permanent families as promptly as possible and to improve the support available to adoptive families across the region.
Cornwall’s adoption services and Adopt South West are already working together closely to learn from each other and improve practice.
