About CVAA
Learn more about the Consortium for Voluntary Adoption Agencies

We champion and support voluntary adoption agencies in their life-changing work by advocating for them in national forums and drawing on their vast experience of adoption to facilitate the sharing of best practice across the adoption system. We create space for professionals in the voluntary adoption sector to network and learn from one another.
