Who can provide an intermediary service?

A local authority, voluntary adoption agency or registered adoption support agency can offer intermediary services for birth relatives, although the extent to which they can do so will depend on what the agency is in a position to offer. However, all agencies should be able to advise you about how to take your enquiries forward, even if they cannot provide the services themselves. Some adoption support agencies may specialize in provision of intermediary services whilst others will not be involved in this work at all. It is important to ask the service you approach if it is an Intermediary Agency. As already explained, there is no statutory requirement for adoption agencies to provide a service. You may find that the agency you approach contracts out some or all of its services to another agency, for example, to an adoption support agency. This is more usual in the case of local authorities. Such arrangements should be explained to you when you make your initial enquiry.
