COVID Support
The COVID pandemic has affected everyone in different ways so here at Adopt London we have introduced some support that you might find useful in these unsettling times, for you and your children.
This support is available to adopters and special guardians from any of our 23 London Boroughs Barking & Dagenham, Barnet, Brent, Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Havering, Hounslow, Islington, Kingston, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Richmond, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets and Wandsworth.
Support for families during the COVID pandemic
We have commissioned services to provide a variety of online support for adoptive families and those with a Special Guardianship Order. If you are an adopter please consider joining WAF Talks or the Adopt London Virtual Choir.
We have also been allocated a few free memberships available until the end of May 2021 for The National Association of Therapeutic Parents (NATP) and the Adopter Hub. You may wish to consider signing up to one of these, and find out about the other Adoption Support available.
Additional support for Special Guardians is also available during the Pandemic.
