Emily Frith takes on the role of chief executive at Adoption UK after five years as head of policy and public affairs at the Office of the Children's Commissioner for England.

Previously, she has held roles as director of mental health and rehabilitation at the Education Policy Institute and as special adviser to former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg where she focused on co-ordinating work to improve standards of mental health provision.

Frith has plans to nurture her team's passion for Adoption UK's work and aims to use her knowledge and expertise of both the children's sector and political sphere to ensure the voices of adopted people and their families are heard and are, crucially, “more firmly at the heart” of the charity.
