In Stockport we’re proud of our children’s services and our record on adoption.

Today’s Government figures show Stockport coming out best in Greater Manchester with 85%.  We work with other authorities across Greater Manchester and the whole of the north west to attract foster carers – it can be a difficult area and there are always issues to be tackled.

Authority	%
Bolton	78
Rochdale	72
Oldham	62
Trafford	77
Tameside	71
Wigan	68
Stockport	85
Salford	67
Manchester	73
Bury	78

It should also be noted that the time it takes to get a child fostered can be out of the hands of the local authority in some situations, for example when court delays play a factor.
