More families have come forward offering to become adopters thanks to big changes made by a group of South London councils.

So far, 19 adoptive families have come forward and six Sutton children have been able to move out of care to start a new life in permanent homes.

As the South West London Adoption Consortium, which includes Sutton Council, nears its first anniversary early results show youngsters have been able to start new lives sooner thanks to the fresh approach to finding suitable families.

The consortium wants to build on the success by getting more people to come forward.
