Pretty quickly into this we narrow down what we we mean and who we're talking about and Elaine, Scott and Al share personal experiences and perspectives as well as looking at professional perspectives.  We kind of slip into discussions around managing concerns and all kinds of other places but also give top tip for parent and top tips for professionals on how to avoid 'parent blame'. Below here are some of the resources that we draw on and mention: From parental blame to partnership with families: how to transform children’s social care CHILDREN’S SOCIAL CARE THE WAY FORWARD - Parent Families and Allies Network Parent-blaming to avoid professional accountability is a human rights issue 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, twitter or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here

Episode 169 - Parent Blame with Elaine Nichols

Welcome to the introductory episode of “FASD – What’s da Craic?” – with Maggie, Rob and Scott. This is Episode 1 of our first series from FASD Ireland and hosted by the A&amp;F Network. Do you know what “What’s da Craic?” means, we hope it is obvious…. but Craic is a term or greeting used to describe a good time, a fun experience, or a friendly conversation and is commonly used in Irish slang. In this episode you will get to know Maggie, Rob and Scott a little more, including their interest in hosting an FASD podcast, as they introduce themselves. As well as getting to know them they also discuss Peer Support, working when you live with FASD, Parenting Triggers and Irish voices. Whilst “FASD – What’s da Craic?” is predominantly an Irish take on FASD, we try to make our language and experiences accessible to everyone. We have a mix of accents in there – something for all! We welcome you to get in touch whether you have a question or would like to be a guest, you can search FASD Ireland across all social media platforms and DM us or email us: office@fasdireland.ie

Helen Minnis

In this midweek conversation we speak to Prof Helen Minnis and Fiona Lettice from the University Of Glasgow. They are undertaking a trial (The Relationships in Good Hands (RIGHT)Trial) looking at Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) therapy.  We chat about the DDP generally and then consider the specific questions that the study is looking at Can DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) improve the mental health of 5–12-year-old fostered or adopted children and is DDP worth the commitment families need to give to it - and the extra cost to the services that deliver it? Notes from Helen and Fiona: "Are you interested in taking part in the RIGHT research trial and contributing to improving care pathways for adopted and fostered children? The Right trial is looking to determine the effectiveness of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy versus other appropriate treatment, offered to children experiencing difficulties related to early years trauma. We are also looking to identify how care pathways can be improved to ensure our vulnerable children are easily able to access the right treatment at the right time. RIGHT is currently recruiting for adoptive families in the following areas: Hertfordshire, Central Bedfordshire, Bedford, Oxfordshire, Lanarkshire, Doncaster, East Midlands – Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire, West Midlands – Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell, and Walsall And for children in a long-term foster placement in: Lanarkshire, Nottingham City, Bradford, Norfolk, Oxfordshire Please get in touch with us at right-trial@glasgow.ac.uk or find out more at www.gla.ac.uk/right"   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 or twitter or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here

Conversations - Adoptive Parent Peter

Hello and welcome to conversations from the A and F podcast. We start discussing Scott's moonlighting on the Good Tech Podcast and consider the role of Artificial Intelligence in social work assessments and matching, there's a bit of banter and we also unpick Al's reflections on being 'social worked'.  Then we go right into our own experiences of living in a home where there's complex and challenging behaviour. We draw on a few sources, direct messages to us and reflections on conversations with other men. It parallels women's experiences in some ways but we consider if it's different and how we respond and if we're able to access support and if so what do we want.

We start discussing Scott's moonlighting on the Good Tech Podcast and consider the role of Artificial Intelligence in social work assessments and matching, there's a bit of banter and we also unpick Al's reflections on being 'social worked'.  Then we go right into our own experiences of living in a home where there's complex and challenging behaviour. We draw on a few sources, direct messages to us and reflections on conversations with other men. It parallels women's experiences in some ways but we consider if it's different and how we respond and if we're able to access support and if so what do we want.

Episode 166 - #CPV #CCVAB and Men’s Experiences

Hello and welcome to this podcast special, Scott attended the launch of Adoption UK’s Annual Barometer report in Westminster this week and in this episode he talks us through the day and his reflections on it. Speakers included Emily Frith, CEO of Adoption UK, Ed Timpson MP, Claire Coutinho MP and Childrens Minister, Helen Hayes MP and Shadow Childrens Minister as well as Sally Donovan and the adopted adults panel. The Barometer report is available here and is available as the full report or in an Executive Summary. Scott doesn’t cover the report findings in any great detail – you can find that above, however, he does pick out some of his reflections from the Speakers. Safe to say that the adopted adults panel discussions were honest, open and raw given their experiences of supports as they transitioned through teenage year and into adulthood.   We will be welcoming Becky Brookes (friend of the show) soon to discuss the content of the Barometer report very soon. 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 or twitter or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here

The Adoption and Fostering Podcast

Due to a lack of pre planning and a coherent podcast release schedule we thought we'd gloss over the fact that we didn't manage to release a shiny new episode and re release this one. Which was cracking BTW.     It’s LGBT history months so we thought we’d add our bit and Al has a chat with Scott and his husband Tris about their perspectives and experience of being amongst the cohort of adoptive same sex couples in the mid 2000s. They straddle a time before that was a possibility and we discuss their journey as well as some of their positive as well as less positive experiences being adoptive parents. We also chat about the implications for them as a family as they encounter and visit other cultures and countries and precautions they take to keep the children and themselves safe. We start with a chat about the BT Halo advert, the language used and the following twitter storm and response from different parts of the adoption community.  Finally, we reveal that we’re chairing a RAA’s first year anniversary conference on the 4th April for Adoption East Midlands, until the end of Feb its open to families from that area, after that anyone can attend if there’s space. BOOK HERE The conference is going to cover a range of issues that are ever present including contact, developing children’s resilience and adopter resilience. There will also be discussion in relation to school support and peer mentors within the adoption community. Take a look here and if you’re free then we’d love to see you  as well as the night before when we’re having the Adoption and Fostering Podcast Pub Quiz (details to follow). If you'd like to find out a little more the Adoption &amp; Fostering Podcast's Facebook page is here, or our twitter feed here. Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here
