Annual Adoption Lecture – 13th July

We are delighted to invite you to our prestigious annual adoption lecture on Monday 13th July, 2.00-3.30pm, which will be delivered online by Sarah Johal MBE, National Adoption Strategic Lead for Adoption England.  The presentation, Modernising Adoption in England: A National Collaborative Approach to Improving Outcomes for Children and Families, will explore how Adoption England is driving a modernisation agenda by listening to peopleโ€™s experiences and using evidence to guide the work.

While focused on England, the learning has strong relevance for Wales and beyond, offering transferable insights for practitioners and policy makers seeking to strengthen adoption services through evidence-informed, relationship-based approaches within their own legislative and practice context.
