Within the UK’s leading regional adoption agency, with a focus on family finding for children. In addition, I recruit and assess prospective adoptive parents, and offer post-adoption therapeutic support. I deliver training, specifically adopting siblings and early permanency and help support the running of our stay & play groups. I continue to work complex cases, attend court, and successfully place children and sibling groups into their adoptive placements.
