In this Episode we welcome the CEO of Adoption UK Sue Armstrong Brown. We had invited her on a while back and it was arranged for this week, little did we know what a news rich week it would be with the announcement from Gavin Williamson set in the context of research released on RAAs as well as the quarterly date for adoption in 19/20. We did start with chat about AUK’s Adoption Barometer that built on last year’s and produced some hard data that can be used as a lobbying tool.
We also chatted about representation at the Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board as well as the role and function of the board in the landscape. As always there was some banter and stretching of metaphors beyond breaking point. We also discussed Scott and Al’s letter to the New Chair.
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.

Well done Al for calling out the comments around inter racial adoption. It's interesting that it always seems to people that are part of the dominant culture i.e white people that are usually advocating for this but yet those same loud advocates don't seem to look at that fact and question it in terms of their own biases and experiences and limited lived experiences of racism 🤔
