This spreadsheet provides local level information on the adoption process, derived from the quarterly Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board (ASGLB) adoption survey, covering quarter 3 of 2020-2021.
Information is provided in four tables:
- the first gives information on child progress through the adoption process (“Adoptions LA” tab).
- The next two tabs cover adoptive families progress, one for local authority (LA) recruitment and another for voluntary adoption agency (VAA) recruitment (“Adoptive families LA” and “Adoptive families VAA” tabs).
- The final sheet is a new table covering Local Authority Special Guardianship Orders (“SGOs LAs” tab). The Adoptions Scorecard Measure A10: Average time (in days) between a child entering care and moving in with its adoptive family adjusted for foster carer adoptions, for children who have been adopted has now been added to the Adoptions LA sheet and the A1 measure will be removed from Q1 2021/22.
