Comments and Feedback

We greatly value thoughts and opinions from anyone including enquirers, applicants, families, young people and adoptees, as they help us improve our adoption services.

We are mindful that expressing your views or feelings could feel daunting, but we genuinely would like to hear your suggestions, an experience, a compliment, or something else.

One of our aims is to make our services more supportive to those affected by adoption. If you are someone who has a lived experience of adoption, and you would like to tell us about the service you have received, or perhaps how we could do something differently but you do not wish to share your details, you can use our anonymised form for general feedback.

If there is something where we can make a difference to you personally, we recommend you email [email protected] and we will respond to you within one working day of receiving your email. We are also interested in hearing from adopted adults or birth family members who may wish to help us shape our services for others.

If you have something urgent to speak to us about or, if it relates to concerns about a child's safety or welfare, please call us on 0300 3000 001 in office hours (Monday to Thursday – 8:30am to 5pm or Friday – 8:30am to 4:30pm) or contact your Children’s Services team in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth or Southampton.

We really appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback to us.
