Access to children’s social care files

All young people who are either care experienced or had social workers involved in their childhood, have the right to access the information that is written about them and saved on their files. we examine these legal rights and the various legal frameworks that govern the processes around accessing care files. We consider best practice in supporting young people to access their care files, as well as consider the psychological and emotional benefits.

 

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the day, participants will have:

  • Explored the legal context, addressing redaction and disclosure of third-party information
  • Learned from recent research findings and considered best practice in supporting care experienced young people to access their care files
  • Reflected on the emotional support and containment needed to enable care experienced people to access their care files
