This session will be presented by birth mum Laura, and adoptive mum Peggy. Together they have written and recorded a blog and a ten part podcast, in which they share their adoption journey; of how, in doing the best for their two boys, they went from strangers to friends.

In this webinar Ruth Copson and Anne Murphy from the University of East Anglia will report on the findings of two studies undertaken during the first period of lockdown in 2020, looking at the impact of social distancing on children’s contact with their birth families, and on planning for moves to adoptive placements.

This open course will explore how families’ culture, faith and understanding of harm impacts on their parenting capacity and consider how this should inform assessments, child protection plans and strategies. The workshop will include how the personal values of practitioners could impact on professional judgements and decision-making.
