Adoption Barometer

The Adoption Barometer 2022 is now closed!

Adopted Adults Barometer 2022 in now closed!

Now in its fourth year, the Barometer is the only comprehensive assessment of the lives of adoptive families across the UK, from preparation, through the early years and way beyond. This year we have a special focus on direct contact with birth family, including the perspectives of adopted adults. Look out for the publication of The Adoption Barometer 2022 in June 2022.

The Barometer makes waves

Since our first report in 2019:  

  • When adopters receive support, their assessments of its quality and impact have improved. 
  • Policy makers cite the Barometer as vital in securing annual extensions to the Adoption Support Fund (ASF).  
  • We saw the first data collection on school exclusions in England – a Barometer recommendation. 
  • In Wales, a £2.3m government investment in adoption services has led to improved scores across the board from Welsh adopters 
  • The Barometer was cited several times in the new National Adoption Strategy in England, and its statistics and recommendations are frequently referenced by politicians and professionals in all four nations of the UK.
