A dedicated adoption service, for the children across Wiltshire among other areas, and their families. The aim is to deliver an adoption service that offers improved outcomes for both children and those who want to adopt. Working together as part of a larger region helps recruit new families more effectively, enables children to move into their permanent homes faster and will improve adoption support services.

Wiltshire Council's Kinship & Fostering service is keen to recruit local foster carers to provide safe and loving home to our children in care.
