    Brief

    Link Maker is a critical national database system that enables adoption agencies to match children with approved prospective adopters across England. The system is used by all 34 Regional Adoption Agencies and Voluntary Adoption Agencies, as well as across the 2 spokes of Adopt Coast to Coast. This is the only adoption matching system of its kind in use across the sector, making this annual licence renewal essential for continued operations. Durham will issue the purchase order and invoice, with Together for Children reimbursing one-third of the total cost.
