Adoption Leadership Board
The ALB is a new national board with a remit to drive significant improvements in the performance of the adoption system in England. It has a particular focus on supporting and challenging the adoption system to maximise the likelihood that:
- Children for whom adoption is the best way of achieving permanence are adopted without unnecessary delay;
- There are enough prospective adopters to provide homes for all the children approved to be adopted;
- Adoptions do not breakdown through the right adoption support being readily available to all people who need it.
More information on the ALB is available from the CVAA website
