Adoption
Service description
Adoption is a permanent, life-long commitment. It offers children who have not had the best start in life the opportunity to live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives with their new families. Adoption can be challenging but it can also be very rewarding. It gives you the chance to help a child whose life has been disrupted, and to watch them develop and benefit from the stability and security of a permanent family.
Like fostering, there is an application and approval process. The Brighton & Hove fostering team and the adoption team work closely together.
Adoption is a separate process from fostering. It is a process which transfers all legal responsibility for a child to their new parent(s).
For more information go to the Brighton & Hove Adoption website.

The planning of roads and footpaths has a major impact on the character, quality and safety of residential areas.
It affects:
- the movement of traffic, including emergency and other services
- arrangements for the parking of residents' and visitors' cars
- the ease with which people, including those who are disabled, can get around
- the layout of houses and their gardens
- the provision for children's play and other outdoor activities
We have adopted the East Sussex County Council "Manual for Estate Roads 1995 edition, as amended" as our interim design guide for design and construction. We hope that the information it contains will help everyone involved with the design of both new developments and the renovation of older developments to create an environment which is attractive, convenient, safe and economical to construct and maintain.
