Adoption services

Swindon’s adoption services are provided by the Adopt Thames Valley Regional Adoption Agency. This partnership ensures that services for children, adopters, special guardians, birth relatives and others are consistently monitored and improved.

The Adopt Thames Valley staff are employed by Oxfordshire County Council, which also provides the systems and services to support the agency.

How it works

Adopt Thames Valley operates across seven local authority areas in the Thames Valley region, including:

  • Bracknell Forest
  • Oxfordshire
  • Reading
  • Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
  • Swindon
  • West Berkshire
  • Wokingham

The agency also collaborates with the Berkshire Adoption Advisory Service and works closely with:

  • Barnardo’s (Voluntary Adoption Agencies)
  • Cornerstone (Social Enterprise)
  • PACT (Parents and Children Together)

Adopt Thames Valley’s key priorities are ensuring continuity and consistency of support across all areas.
