Recommendation 37
37
Adopted children's early trauma impact on education receives insufficient recognition and support.
Conclusion
There is too little recognition of the impact of the early trauma and separation experienced by adopted children, and of the support they need to thrive in education and beyond, with over half of adopted children feeling that they didn’t receive the support they needed at school. (Conclusion, Paragraph 92)
