CCS adoption was today (7 October) named as the recipient of the 2022 agency commendation award from New Family Social's LGBTQ+ adopter and foster carer members. 

The announcement comes at the close of the New Family Social's Adoption & Fostering Support Week for LGBTQ+ parents.

One LGBTQ+ adoptive parents nominating the agency said: ‘Throughout our whole adoption process CCS Adoption [was] so supportive. [The staff went] out of their way to help with the settlement of our children into our family. [CCS Adoption] provided specialist services to our family and ongoing support post adoption. We truly couldn't have asked for a better team of dedicated people.’

Accepting the award, CCS adoption's Emma Simpson said: 'CCS is delighted and so proud to receive the 2022 New Family Social members' commendation award. We've been positively promoting and supporting our LGBTQ+ adopters for many years now, through our social group and staff champions and are so pleased that our adopters have voted for us in recognition of this work.'
