The picture we’re building over multiple years is what makes decision makers really listen. If you’ve never done it, make this the year you dive in! 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.
