I have often been very challenged by how decisions are made and maintained regarding the contact children and young people have with their birth family members when adopted or in care. It was therefore refreshing to be asked to review this timely book that has its roots in the work of the voluntary adoption placement and support agency Adoption Plus based in Buckinghamshire.

This accessible book takes the reader on a journey through many aspects of contact and how it might be conceptualised and planned with the child's experience in mind. Each chapter is full of moving, pertinent case examples.
