While six out of the ten Greater Manchester councils are missing the target for finding adoptive parents for children placed in care, Stockport comes out top, beating the Government target by 107 days.

Stockport is also one of only three Greater Manchester authorities to also meet a second target – placing children with families within seven months of adoption being cleared by the courts.

Fostering is a challenging area, and no-one’s perfect, but it’s one where Stockport has worked hard and we’re very glad to see that paying off in improving the lives of some of the most vulnerable young people in our society.
