Peter Unwin and Becki Meakin

'Adoption & Fostering' journal #15 | Looking past the stereotypes – Disabled people as foster carers

In this episode, Peter Unwin and Becki Meakin discuss their research into the underrepresentation of disabled people as foster carers, highlighting the systemic barriers and stereotypes that prevent their inclusion. They outline how fostering agencies can better recruit and support disabled carers through inclusive practices, training, and a shift away from deficit-based thinking.
