This afternoon at the @PermProg conference, hearing about the connections and contact children have with birth family. #PermProg2

Four in five of the children were living apart from at least one sibling. Almost half of the children who had brothers and sisters living elsewhere had no contact with them.

We’re so grateful to all the local authorities involved in our study, particularly the social workers who have completed questionnaires. The next stage of the study has now started, with the first questionnaires being sent out to carers and adoptive parents.
