Adoption Focus - Education in Focus
Education in Focus is our adoption podcast series looking at all aspects of schools and education through the lens of adoption.
In each episode, host Leigh is joined by our education experts Lisa and Jason to provide advice for parents supporting adoptees as they go through their school years. They talk to a range of adopters and professionals on subjects such as homework, exams, special educational needs, promoting good school and parent relationships, end of year transitions, and choosing a school.

We’re thrilled to be joined in this episode by one of our amazing adopters, Raun. With over 15 years of experience as a SENDCO and senior schoolteacher, Raun brings a wealth of insight from both an educational and personal perspective.
After stepping away from teaching to adopt, Raun returned to work in education this time supporting families by writing EHCPs and working with a local authority.
Raun talks about what the role of a SENDCO really involves, how families can seek help from schools, what reasonable adjustments look like in practice, and the ins and outs of Education, Health and Care Plans.
You’ll also hear practical tips for navigating the EHCP process and working collaboratively with your child’s school.
