On Wednesday 15 January 2025, voluntary adoption agencies across the UK will be opening their doors simultaneously to mark Big Adoption Day. We are running two events - a collaboration with the National Theatre and an extended adoption information meeting.

Come and experience Coram’s new immersive, audio-visual installation, exploring the past and present of the British care system. Using a blend of media, the artwork explores pertinent, timeless questions about the care system, mixing snippets of life from the Foundling Hospital with those of young people in care today.

For National Adoption Week 2024, join us for an in-person screening of a new short film documenting photographer Philip Sinden's search for his birth family. Through this unfiltered and personal lens, Philip invites the audience to join him on a transformative journey.

In the final session, we will be wrapping up by looking at the core concepts of Permanence with our Head of Policy, Research and Development, James Bury. This six part series is tailored specifically to recently qualified social workers, students and those wanting to find out more about adoption, fostering and kinship care.

In this session, we will be exploring the legal aspects of permanence and early permanence with our Legal Consultants Alexandra Conroy Harris, and Augusta Itua. This six part series is tailored specifically to recently qualified social workers, students and those wanting to find out more about adoption, fostering and kinship care.
