The Consortium of Voluntary Adoption Agencies (CVAA) is a membership organisation for the Voluntary Adoption Agencies in the UK.
It is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It exists to ensure the continuing high level of service by CVAA members to adopted children, adopters, adopted adults and members of birth family. We are child centred and keep the child’s welfare as our central concern.

To maximise the contribution of Voluntary Adoption Agencies by influencing policy and practice of Adoption in the UK at National, Regional and Local levels.
To directly increase the number of children successfully placed for adoption by promoting liaison and collaborative partnership working practices between voluntary adoption agencies and all other stakeholders.
To develop standards of excellence in all matters relating to adoption good practice and management throughout the voluntary sector.
