In this episode we're made up to chat to Louise Bomber's  who has a new book 'Know Me to Teach Me' that has just come out. The book looks at the risks of early adversity on children and how that then impact on them in a learning environment. She chats through the book but then we consider the current environment and the implications for schools and teachers of lockdown as well as the ever present challenges of increased testing, measuring and zero tolerance behaviour policies. 

Unfortunately Scott couldn't make the interview however there's the usual banter before and after the interview and we hit on a few issues that are currently bobbing around. 

We hope you enjoy and 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.
