Through a robust, coherent and well-coordinated approach, the Lewisham Adoption Service is providing good-quality, stable adoption placements for children aged up to nine years. A strong focus is placed on identifying children, for whom adoption is being considered, at the earliest stage of the care-planning process; this ensures that a dynamic approach is taken during the assessments of prospective adopters and who to match with after approval.
