In what is a UK and England centric #WednesdayWebcast we catch up on what has been a busy news week, as short and to the point podcast. 

We chat about the new appointee to the Adoption & Special Guardianship Leadership Board and consider the challenges set before them. Also, we consider the lack of news in relation to the continuation of the Adoption Support Fund and who will be leading the promised Care Review and who should be leading it. 

Finally, we consider the controversy around physical chastisement and the proposed Children's Commissioner. 

Al was away from home so his voice is through some low quality earbuds hence the quality differential.
