Welcome to TACT
The Adolescent Children's Trust is a registered charity that provides child-centred services to Local Authorities throughout the UK.
Our aim is to help children of all ages and all ethnic groups, to grow and mature as unique and confident individuals through the continued creative development of appropriate child-centred services.
At its heart, TACT has a dedicated team of well-trained, experienced staff and foster carers. They are able to provide appropriate family placements for all age groups and time-scales.
On this site you will find information about the services we provide, the training and support our carers receive, as well as how we are able to achieve high standards in the field of child-care provision.

TACT agrees with the Minister for Education, Michael Gove, that more children should be adopted and unnecessary delay and bureaucracy reduced. However, improvement of the adoption system should only be seen as part of overall improvement. TACT, along with other charities in the sector, is currently planning an enquiry into permanence in care and hope to engage the government in this work.
TACT: Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD): how to support affected children
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an incurable lifelong condition arising from brain damage caused by maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The effects may include physical, mental, behavioural and learning disabilities. However, if diagnosed, the right strategies can transform the lives of those affected. This new Guardian Social Care Network half-day seminar in association with TACT Fostering and Adoption will explain the condition and show what can be done to help.
