Adoption propensity and recruitment forum

Join colleagues from across the adoption sector for a forum focused on adopter recruitment. This event will explore the findings of Adoption Propensity in England, Coram's latest research into the factors that influence people's willingness and propensity to adopt. Alongside an overview of the research, participants will have the opportunity to consider what the findings mean for their own area and how they can be translated into effective recruitment strategies. The forum is designed for adoption service leaders, managers, practitioners, recruitment professionals and others with responsibility for recruiting and supporting adopters.

The series has been specially commissioned by Coram to mark the centenary of The Adoption of Children Act 1926 and to celebrate National Adoption Week 2026, as well as support our ongoing adoption recruitment programme.
