This blog aims to be a forum of discussion between practitioners, academics, foster/kinship carers, adoptive parents and young people. Topics of discussion in the blog will be relevant to the study, and will include: foster/kinship care, adoption, young people leaving care, resilience, early adversity, mental health/wellbeing, support, social services, attachment, etc. Posts will be written by members of the research team but also others, such as academics in the field, social care agencies and voluntary organisations, other practitioners, foster/kinship carers, adoptive parents and young people. The blog will also serve to inform of the progress made in the study, and to discuss aspects of it.
Great work and a lively blog too!
