Advice and Support

Our purpose is to provide anyone who has been affected by adoption or other forms of permanent care, as well as the professionals who support them, with expert, independent advice and counselling.

National PAC-UK Advice Line

Our National PAC-UK Advice Line is available on 0300 1800 090 and is staffed by qualified and experienced PAC-UK counsellors/social workers who can provide advice and information on all aspects of adoption and other forms of permanent care. It is also the first port of call for enquiries about PAC-UK counselling and our other services. Like all PAC-UK’s services, the Advice Line is independent and confidential, within a safeguarding framework. Our London Education Advice Line is open each Thursday during school term times between 12.00pm and 2.00pm on the same number.
