During the Covid 19 crisis, local authorities need ensure that they are able to fulfil their role and responsibilities toward young people in the care system. In a period when face to face contact with children and young people is more limited, ensuring the welfare of those children and supporting their placements creates a particularly potentially complex set of challenges.

In social work with children and families, the importance of the capacity for practitioners to exercise critical analysis and reflection is widely recognised. This is with regard to managing complex casework and, therefore, improving the quality of their assessments and decision-making. If this is true generally, in our field it is particularly so in this current period of crisis.

There is already emerging evidence, internationally and domestically, that the Coronavirus crisis is leading to an increase in domestic abuse

A feature of many of the children and young people we work with, as well as very often their parents, is that they have experienced trauma in their lives. This webinar will explore the impact that trauma can have.

Stability and permanence for children and young people have been aspirations at the heart of the care system for the last thirty years. However, realising these aspirations has been consistently challenging. This webinar scopes the research in this area and identifies what can promote positive experiences of the care systems.

Wherever it is possible, the primary objective in terms of permanence for children in the care system is to reunite them with their birth families. However, research has consistently found that this is a particularly difficult and sensitive process. If not managed effectively, children and young people can be potentially experience further harm.

Audit has become an increasing feature of how casework and services are managed in local authorities. As well as serving as an important quality assurance mechanism for individual children and families, they can also be an invaluable source of learning, providing insight into the wider practice system. All too often, however, audit has been criticised as being reductionist and ‘tick box’ in its nature. This webinar will explore the potential of audit to be used in more constructive and helpful ways.

Young people leaving the care system have to manage what foremost is an accelerated and compressed transition to adulthood. Since the Leaving Care Act 2000, there has been an attempt to personalise and support this process, applying the concept of the ‘corporate parent’ beyond the age of eighteen. However, many of those who are care experienced report that there are still many occasions when their needs are not adequately met.
