Transcript of CC Inform Learn on the go podcast episode about siblings - assessment, placements, when separation might be necessary and contact for siblings living apart
The role of the social worker who must prepare a report for the court, what that report should include and what support a local authority may put in place for the child, their carers, and their birth families.
This piece will explore different lived experiences of the care system through telling the stories of three individuals: Daniel, Reece and Cassie. You’ll hear the voices and views of young people about all aspects of the system – from going into care to leaving it – and their experiences with social workers, both positive and negative.
Children and young people's views on contact arrangements, the emotional issues which contact (or lack of) can contribute to, and
the longer-term impact of contact in earlier life.
Young people’s views and experiences around the expectation of what life at home would be like, how social workers supported the move back home, and the reality of being back at home after spending time in care.
Covers the tools and services social workers can use to support parents to change behaviours, how social workers can assess whether it may be safe for children to return to their parent's care, and good practice in rehabilitating children home.
