Adoption & Fostering Support Week for LGBTQ+ parents and carers returns from 27 November. The campaign's specifically about focusing on the key areas of support our members turn to us for.

Our Gold and Silver members can log in now to read the first new support article, which focuses on accessing education support.

As part of the week we' also held our annual briefing for adoption and fostering sector professionals. Some 325 registered to attend and hear the latest good practice on working with LGBTQ+ adoption and fostering applicants, review the latest statistics and more.


The week closes with the publication of our members' 2023 commendations - a list of social workers our members told us they wanted to publicly recognise for their work.
