Evidence-based practice in relation to post-adoption support in educational settings

Andi Stother, Kevin Woods, Sarah McIntosh · Adoption & Fostering

A systematic review examined 11 studies of support for adopted children in education. It grouped reported aspects of support into strategies, shared understanding, communication and monitoring. The authors described a small literature with methodological limitations.

Limitations: Research findings are synthesised in an English school-policy context; the abstract does not identify every study’s country. Themes are not pooled proof that a particular intervention works. Only the publisher-deposited abstract was reviewed; regional coverage and additional methods are not inferred where unstated. Publication relationship: this research was published by BAAF or in its Adoption & Fostering journal, now associated with CoramBAAF, an adoption-sector organisation. Publication does not establish that the organisation conducted the research; readers may take the institutional relationship into account.
