Episode 164 - Dr Vicky Baker CCVAB and the Voices of Children

In this Episode of the A&F podcast we speak to Dr Vicky Baker about her research listening to children and young people who display violence and aggression towards their caregivers. It's a fascinating chat and she raises issues that many families will recognise and we consider intentionality, reactionary and complex histories in children who display this behaviour.  It's a great conversation and Dr Vicky is happy to be contacted by email here and you can read the research here.  We also highlight some info requested in the Adopter Reference Group in relation to contact between adopters and birth family and we've popped some questions onto a short Google form 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 or twitter or email us at [email protected] Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here
