73% of adoptive parents say their child will need significant ongoing support in adulthood. Check out AUK’s 6 point action plan in this year’s #AdoptionBarometer21 Adoption Barometer | Adoption UK Charity Adoption UK

Adopted children need a plan & support that's there to stay. But a plan isn’t worth the paper it’s written on unless it wraps itself around the YP & provides what they need. State needs to provide resources & mechanism to make that happen. 💙Rachael Maskell MP re #AdoptionBarometer

Day 2: We have a #mentalhealth emergency: Half of young adopted people have sought help for mental ill health & numbers are rising. Check out AUK’s 6 point action plan in this year’s #AdoptionBarometer21| Adoption UK Charity Adoption UK #ADOPTION

We're very sad to hear the news of the Queen's death. Throughout her life she has been a great champion of charities, including many with a focus on giving all children an equal chance. Our thoughts are with her family at this time.
