Episode 231 - Social worker questions, assessment and Tramadol ramblings

from The Adoption and Fostering Podcast · host Al Coates & Scott Casson-Rennie

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of  the AandF podcast.  In this episode we rage across a couple of matters that impact on many families, power dynamics with social workers. After a Tramadol start and Scott's good news we get distracted by the complicated relationship prospective adopters and foster carers can have with their social workers. The power dynamics are often set against applicants and what questions are appropriate and what are not. How do we push back and can we question the questions, it's not simple.  If you want to read the research mentioned you can do that here. If you want to listen to Scott's radio documentary on FASD you can do that here.  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, BlueSky or email us at [email protected]
