    Social Work in the Adoption Authority

    Social workers in the Adoption Authority understand that adoption is a life-long process that can generate a mix of emotions and needs for parties involved.

    It is the responsibility of the social work service in the Adoption Authority to provide a statutory tracing service for our clients. Further to this work, social workers also provide mediation, brief intervention and complete review of all current proposed adoptions.
