Hello and welcome to conversations from the A&F Network. 

Well, just before we pressed record an election was announced in the UK in what was pretty poor timing for Adoption UK and their Barometer. We unpick both things and consider the impact of a change of government on the landscape as well as reflect on the release of the Barometer and the finding it highlights this year. You can read the Barometer here.

We also discuss touch on the recent speech by Sir Andrew McFarlane at the recent potato conference. You can read that here. 

Here's the link for the event Scott is doing in with Dads and Barnardos Ireland.  

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, the app formerly known as Twitter or email us at [email protected]
