Devising and updating risk assessment and management plans in fostering
£12.95
Assessing and managing risk is essential to help ensure that fostered children are kept as safe as possible, and is central to the statutory framework and to Ofsted inspection. This practical guide, in association with CoramBAAF’s Form R, is designed to help social workers and foster carers to complete and update individual safeguarding plans for fostered children in England.
This guide helps practitioners to consider safety, safer caring and assessing risk, with information on what the guidance, regulations and Ofsted inspection process demand in this area. It provides details of Form R (England) and sets out how and when it should be used in a context of risk assessment and management. The form and associated guide list common risks to a fostered child, helpfully organised into four sections: self-directed behaviour; risks from known others; risks from unknown others; and risks that the child may pose to others. Helpful questions for workers and carers promote discussion and awareness of the different risk areas.
This guide will be invaluable for all social workers and foster carers involved in risk assessment and management planning for fostered children.
