New Leaf Adoption is a voluntary Adoption Agency based throughout the UK.
New Leaf Adoption was formed by Collette Scott and Iain Dickinson. Iain himself was an adopted child. He had a wonderful experience of adoption and grew up in a loving and caring family. At the age of 18 years he traced his birth mother Collette and both went on to qualify as Social Workers. Collette has worked predominantly within Child Protection and Iain specialised in Adoption early on in his career.
Due to these positive experiences, both Iain and Collette have both remained focused on the area of adoption.
Working in Social Work at senior levels, Iain and Collette have become keenly aware of the difficulties around adoption. Issues include the sheer number of children waiting for placements, the need for thorough and comprehensive assessments and the need to place the right children with the right parents. It was these difficulties within the current system that drove Iain and Collette to form New Leaf adoption agency.
