Notice Description

Adopt North East (ANE) is a Regional Adoption Agency based in the North East of England. It was created in December 2018 in response to the legal requirement that local authorities regionalise their adoption services. It is a partnership between five Local Authorities: Gateshead Council, Newcastle City Council, Northumberland County Council, North Tyneside Council and South Tyneside Council. It is hosted by North Tyneside Council. In joining their adoption services together and forming a Regional Adoption Agency, the vision and ambition of the five partner Local Authorities is for Adopt North East to achieve 'excellent adoption services that transform children's and families lives for the better'. Adopt North East (Hosted by North Tyneside Council) is seeking to establish a framework of providers to support the medium and high level element of our offer by provision of therapeutic services and specialist assessments.
