Abstract
This accessible and informative guide is intended primarily for adoptive parents, although much of the content would be useful for teachers, social workers and other practitioners working to support adopted children at school. The authors provide a brief overview of the current pressures faced in education and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, outlining adoptive families’ entitlements to support in Scotland and providing a realistic account of some of the challenges parents may encounter in advocating for specialist support. The reality that problems with school are the most common reason why adopters in Scotland contact the Adoption UK helpline demonstrates the need for this useful publication.
