@TheCinesthetic Maria full of grace
What an endorsement! Proud to be part of a team that places adoptees and their families at the centre of our work.
Ofsted has rated our work in England as 'outstanding' in all areas. CEO of Adoption UK Emily Frith said that the rating is 'a testament to the commitment and expertise of all our staff and volunteers'. Read more about the findings and the report. https://t.co/amVsIqeoEO
The Adoptive Dads group is back! Whether you’re a dad-to-be or deep in the journey, this is a space for sharing, listening, and just being with others who get it. Register now by logging in and heading to the Members' Area.
Your voice matters – and so does theirs. Tag your MP and ask them to show up for adoptive families. The ASGSF is a lifeline – and they need to hear how the cuts are affecting real lives.

Had a lovely time @WigtownBookFest this morning with wondrously interactive storytelling by @Nighneag
Proud to coordinate this pathway and support families on their journey. We’ve been collating feedback from families and schools on how this support has been making a difference.

Happy Father’s Day to those celebrating and remembering those no longer with us. Started day with breakfast in bed, a stop at the local Wicker Man. Ended it by clearing out a drainpipe.
Really great work from colleagues @adoptionuk on promoting the voice and insights from 4000 Adopters, Adoptees, kinship and long-term foster carers in the 2024 barometer. Insights can be found for each Nation https://t.co/mUF0HFwtJf
Aurora over the house. 🏠 beautiful.
Busy family weekend visiting coos and the beach. Plenty of pottering outside the house with the power washer for the husband too.
@DrBertieM @presentcorrect @Nottm_Contemp There was a cigarette packet one and a chicken on a basket representing a mother hen.
@AUKAdopterVoice @TFAdoption_UK What a wonderful partnership to see taking place. TFA is where we began our parenting journey.
@AdrianBethune If possible would love to see this policy to scope out how embedded policy can support others in making a change to trauma informed practice.
Work update news! I’m getting into my new roles within the Psychology & Therapy Hub team. Taking on responsibility coordinating the Education and Adult pathways alongside a peer support partner role for families across the U.K.
Proud to be playing a part in this campaign 👇

How great that our work with @PEDALCam is out now. This was a great project which supported the research team in using our RCDT approach in supporting learning and then scale up their intervention.
More information in the thread below.

I get the availability of cohort data, but it is 2023 where a diversity of family contexts exist and I wish research studies would reflect the reality of these lived experiences. Are adoptive parent households not a way of understanding contributions to learning and development?
Firstly I want to acknowledge the time and effort taken by the research team in conducting this work, however there is an overwhelming heteronormative perspective of parenthood present in this work 1/n
@PIECEstudy's transformative work by @UniversityLeeds @OfficialUoM @fatherhoodinst collab presented at their final project webinar today.
Fathers bring additional and complementary benefits to kids' language, literacy, and educational attainment @ESRC

Of course not, as a same sex couple, or indeed other examples of families where children may be part of single parent households, or be raised by kinship carers who all strive to support children in their education, learning and development. Are our efforts wasted here 3/n
