The Adoption Barometer 2019: A stocktake of adoption in the UK
The first Adoption Barometer surveyed around 3,500 families about 2018. Its child-outcome component covers education, mental-health service use and the transition to adulthood through parent questionnaires. This entry identifies that research component; detailed findings are not summarised because the report itself could not be retrieved.
Limitations: Voluntary survey; participants may differ between years, so this is not a longitudinal panel or a population prevalence estimate. UK-wide findings should not be treated as England-only results. Parents supplied the child-outcome evidence. Only the publisher’s description and bibliographic references were reviewed, not the report. The report also covers adopters’ own experiences, outside this entry’s scope. Produced by Adoption UK, an adoption-sector advocacy/service organisation. This institutional relationship should be considered when interpreting the findings.
