Intermediary services for relatives of adopted people
We are seeking views on which groups of people should be granted access to intermediary services.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
We are consulting on proposals to extend access to intermediary services to children and grandchildren of adults adopted before 30 December 2005. Intermediary services currently facilitate contact and the exchange of information between adopted adults and their birth relatives.
We are also seeking views on whether the adopted person should have the right to make an absolute or qualified veto for making contact.
