Does this apply to you? Or are you able to spread the word to those that it may apply to? I'm looking for around 10 more young people to take part in my research. #phdchat #AcademicChatter #qualitative methods #CRmethods

Congratulations to Dr @RoseBHutton for successfully defending her thesis during her PhD viva today! We are so proud of you!
I’m still looking to speak to one or two more birth/first parents about their experience of contact in Early Permanence (Foster to Adopt/concurrency) placements. If you would be willing to speak to me, or know anyone who might, please do get in touch and I can provide more info.

Copson et al studied digital tech in child welfare practice. Older kids had more ease/comfort with it. Lack of wifi or enabled devices, child age, decreased touch/physical handling affected child, parent, caregiver ability to interact. @SAGEPsychology.

I am currently recruiting for my PhD research. Do you know a family that this applies to? I'd be grateful if you could pass on the information.

I am currently recruiting parents who have had a child adopted via Early Permanence. If you know of anyone who may be willing to be interviewed, please do share this with them and I can give them further information. If you are a parent yourself, please do get in touch.

We will be launching the findings of our study into long term foster care on Friday. You can book on the webinar here. nuffieldfoundation.org/event…
We used national data and surveyed/interviewed managers to find out how regulations about long term foster care are being implemented.
Researchers in our @CRCF1 highlight the essential role of long-term foster carers in helping to transform the lives of vulnerable children in a new study out today with @NuffieldFound @OfficialUoM More here: bddy.me/2ZTkEei

Good to see Early Permanence in the media, with a story that highlights how some babies return to birth family and others go on to be adopted - a reminder that EP is and always should be child focused, but comes with challenges for all involved. bbc.co.uk/news/stories-58975…

We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting our annual CRCF conference, online, on Friday 25 June 2021. Researchers from CRCF will showcase recent findings from an exciting & diverse range of studies. Find out more here: bit.ly/2OT4n3o @swkuea @SociologyUea
Fantastic short animation regarding contact/Family Time for children. Well worth a watch and share.
Decisions about contact are crucial for children and families when children are placed for adoption, removed from home through care proceedings, or voluntarily looked after by local authorities.
Our new animation explores key messages from research.
