	Description:		This week we speak to Lucy Peak the Chief Executive of Granparents plus, they represent and support many families, not just grandparents, that find themselves as Special Guardians or kinship carers of vulnerable children predominantly from their own families. The needs of those children mirror those children who have been adopted and in the looked after system and many have passed through that system. Its a stark situation and Lucy expands on the challenges faced and the circumstances that exacerbate the difficulties. She also shares some encouraging news in relation to the level of support that families are receiving as well as some of the hopes for the future. It's an eye opening conversation and offers much food for thought. As usual there's a little banter and frivolity hence the temporary rebrand for this episode. We hope you enjoy and as always your views and thoughts are appreciated, you can contact the podcast through the usual routes and if you'd like to find out a little more the Adoption & Fostering Podcast's Facebook page is here, or our twitter feed here.
