Hannah and Naomi Ashman discuss how beginning a screening protocol in a primary setting is going; things to think about and the exciting opportunities ahead. As both are currently enjoying studying for EdDs, they also consider the importance of research and how they balance the roles of SENCO, family and doctoral research. As an adoptive parent, Naomi also shares about the landscape of foster care and the barriers that care-experienced children often face.
