This paper presents the main messages from a survey of adoption support services in local authority and voluntary adoption agencies throughout the UK. The survey examined developments in service provision and delivery resulting from the Government's drive to increase the use of adoption as an option to secure permanence for looked after children. Alan Rushton reports that substantial changes are taking place in many agencies, but that there is further to go to achieve equitable and timely access to specialist services when they are needed
