Episode 219 - Kinship Report, Disruption Research and Bantz

Hello and welcome to this episode of the A&F podcast, we're on the cusp of Kinship week so we look a the report published this week "Handle With Care: Annual survey of kinship carers 2025" view here. Parts of it dovetail with the DfE's Family Routes: Children who return to care research which we discuss and you can view here. 

Of course we banter around the issues and unpack our takes, or attempts at takes, on the reports. 

If you're an adoptive parent and struggling with challenging behaviour you can join the Walking with Families FB group here.

FASD Ireland's research can be viewed here. 

As always if you’ve experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook page, BlueSky or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com
