Your opinions are very important to us and will help us guide the services we offer and the campaigning work which we undertake.
It takes a village to raise a child: A survey about adoption support
This survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who completed it - we will provide a summary of the results in a future issue of Adoption Today magazine and on our website.
Adoption UK created this survey to find out more about parents’ and families’ understanding of adoption support, as well as their need for services and their experiences of asking for and receiving help and support. With the information gathered from this survey we hope to obtain a better picture of the provision of adoption support services across the UK, along with answering some of the questions around what it takes to parent children adopted from the care system in a safe, secure and loving environment.
Survey of adopters’ recruitment experiences
This survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who completed it - we will provide a summary of the results in a future issue of Adoption Today magazine and on our website.
Adoption UK created this survey with the aim of gathering information from adopters and prospective adopters about their experiences of being recruited and assessed. We want to use this information to get a better understanding of how local authority and voluntary adoption agencies in the UK recruit, prepare and assess adoptive parents.
BME Research Project
This survey has now closed.
Adoption UK Training Coordinator Bob Barnes wants to thank everyone who returned a questionnaire for his research project on the barriers to recruitment, training and support of adopters from the black and minority ethnic (BME) communities.
Bob said "I'm really grateful for all the responses from adopters and prospective adopters. I've had some very interesting opinions expressed and I'll be doing an analysis of them during the next few weeks."
Bob has already sent a copy of Dan Hughes new book "Attachment Focused Parenting" to the winner of the prize draw. The responses will remain confidential and the name and address of the winner of the draw will not be disclosed.
Membership Feedback Survey

Thank you to everyone who took the trouble to complete the survey. We have received over 300 completed applications, most by post. We will process these and once we have all the data collated we will begin to analyse the results.
We will provide a summary of the results in a future issue of Adoption Today and on the website.
