The Digital Lives of Care-experienced Children project, based at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford and funded by the Nuffield Foundation, is examining how care-experienced children and young people secure the digital access, and develop skills and confidence they need, and how the adults and systems around them can support them.
This webinar will introduce the project and share emerging findings from its first phase: a mapping of the policy and practice landscape relating to digital inclusion and digital skills for this cohort. We will explore how issues such as digital access, online safety, skills and preparation for adulthood are reflected in policy and guidance; where responsibilities for supporting young people’s digital lives sit; and where gaps, inconsistencies and opportunities for stronger practice may be emerging.

Once completed, the book will provide them with a permanent record which they – and with their permission, the adults caring for them – can refer to at any time and which the child can carry with them through life.
