Differences in regulations and guidance between England and Scotland mean that there are some additional things to think about when planning to move children across the national border.

Adoption & Fostering journal

Adoption & Fostering is the only quarterly peer-reviewed journal dedicated to adoption, fostering and kinship issues. Over the years, it has gained an international reputation as one of the world’s leading sources of knowledge for academics, practitioners and all those concerned with childcare practice and research.

Volume 48 (Issue 2, July 2024) now available

In our latest journal podcast episode, Dr Dennis Golm (Journal Editor) and Jo Francis (Publications Manager) introduce Volume 48 Issue 2 of our Adoption & Fostering journal. They talk us through Dennis' editorial about ‘Breaking the taboo: Let’s talk about child-to-parent violence’, and talk us through each article in this issue.

We are introducing a digital book subscription scheme where agencies can pay to receive an electronic copy of a book, which can be shared amongst staff, accessed and read online.

Starter packs for newly qualified social workers

To help newly qualified social workers, or those that want to refresh their knowledge, we have created a fostering and adoption starter pack. You will receive our top selling titles at a discounted price.
