Meet the Teams

The North London Adoption Consortium is made up of five boroughs which cover the North London area. Working in partnership means we are able to offer a greater range of choice for children and adopters. By sharing information about waiting children and approved adopters it enables us to find new homes for children more effectively. Our joint approach enables us to offer a comprehensive range of training opportunities for potential adopters as well as securing specialist staff training. This allows us to be at the forefront of our field and so creating more choice for all those whose lives are affected by adoption.	Barnet
