Wednesday Webcast: Adoption, Race and Racism with Satwinder Sandhu

In this week's Wednesday Webcast we start to look at other issues that impact on adoption, specifically race and racism following the BlackLivesMatter campaigns that have developed over the summer. We chat to Satwinder Sandhu the CEO of The International Adoption Centre and social worker. He opens up the discussion in relation to systemic issues that may prohibit adopters coming forward, transracial placements and how to prepare families to parent children of colour beyond the lazy tropes of hair and skincare. Scott and Al appreciate that they have limited experience in these matters but feel strongly that conversations need to be had with people that can speak with lived experience and personal insight so we'll be chatting to a few different people over the next few weeks. 

You can see the webchat as well as the other stuff we do at our FB page here.

As always your views and thoughts are appreciated, you can contact the podcast through the usual routes and if you'd like to find out a little more the Adoption & Fostering Podcast's Facebook page is here, or our twitter feed here.
