“As I reflect on the past year, I am pleased to present this Annual Report, which highlights the extensive work undertaken, celebrates key achievements, addresses ongoing challenges, and outlines the progress made across our strategic priorities.

“A central focus for us this year has been expanding and deepening our work on voice and influence across England. We are committed to ensuring that the perspectives of adopted people, adopters, and birth parents shape the direction of our strategy and services.”

Sarah Johal MBE, National Adoption Strategic Lead at Adoption England
