Adopted children: evidence review for the Children's Commissioner
An evidence review for the Children's Commissioner assessed available UK outcome evidence for adopted children. It identified limited evidence, principally on educational attainment and social outcomes, and noted gaps in longitudinal and adult-outcome evidence at the time.
Limitations: This is an evidence review rather than primary research, and its search reflects literature available up to 2017. Government or public-body commissioned/published research concerning adoption, care or education systems. Readers may take the commissioning/publication relationship and the body’s role in those systems into account.
