Private Fostering Awareness Day: Lunch and Learn
This year’s lunchtime session for Private Fostering Awareness Day will focus on the complexities, challenges and solutions in private fostering social work practice. We will hear from local authority practitioners, the voices of private foster carers, parents and young people and consider some of the complexities that arise in private fostering arrangements. The event will also preview the results of this year’s CoramBAAF private fostering survey and the accompanying report will be published on the same day.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
• What the latest CoramBAAF survey tells us about private fostering right now, and what it means for practice
• Parents’ perspectives – awareness, consent, making arrangements and family relationships
• Private foster carers’ perspectives – the reality and complexity
• Children and young people’s perspectives – relationships with parents and private foster carers – challenges and what works
