CoramBAAF is excited to publish the new Kinship Care Assessment (Form K) Wales. The change in name to 'Form K' reflects the national policy reform agenda and a growing awareness of the complexity and importance of kinship care when children can’t remain at home with their parents. The new assessment amplifies the voice of the child and  focuses on the relationship between them and the prospective kinship carer, drawing out strengths and highlighting support needs. It enables a relationship-based and reflective assessment process that gathers and analyses the information required to inform decisions about a child’s future care.

It increases carers’ ability to mentalise about the feelings and thoughts of themselves and the child leading to lower levels of stress and burnout and a better relationship with the child. In this session, we unpack the latest research studies on the effectiveness of the reflective fostering programme in supporting foster carers.

This session will explore how AI can support social work practice without weakening professional judgement, and the support, guidance and training required to accompany the use of these tools. The tools were developed with a simple initial aim: to reduce the time social workers spend writing Form F assessments, while improving clarity, consistency and reflective depth.
