Adoption UK

Who we are

Adoption UK is the leading charity for adopted and care experienced people, adoptive families, and others parenting children who can’t live with their birth parents. Set up in 1971, we’ll be here for adopted and care experienced children, adults and their families for as long as they need us. 

Our vision is a society where every child or young person unable to live with their birth parents can thrive in childhood and has an equal chance of a bright future as an adult.  

Our purpose is to secure the right support at the right time for children and young people who are unable to live with their birth parents, from childhood into adulthood.  

Our culture and values

We are a passionate and committed organisation and we really value our employees. We offer flexibility, family friendly working arrangements and a wide range of benefits.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive we are, and the more diverse our team, the better our work will be. This is because if all our employees and volunteers feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who they are at work then we will have a more motivated team. Increasing our diversity will also enable us to benefit from different perspectives and ideas and help us to reflect the communities we serve. We will review and make efforts to ensure our language is always inclusive and suited to individual needs.
