Beyond together or apart - Planning for, assessing and placing sibling groups
Understanding the profound and enduring bond between siblings, especially for children in care, is vitally important. With approximately 60% of looked after children having siblings, it is crucial to make the right decisions regarding their placement. Recognising the significance of sibling relationships, our updated Good Practice Guide emphasises the importance of thoughtful planning and collaborative efforts among birth families, social workers, and foster carers. It addresses key factors for consideration, stresses the need for early planning, and advocates for a sibling-friendly approach to service provision.
Beyond together or apart - Planning for, assessing and placing sibling groups, offers practical insights, including sample forms and letters, to facilitate informed decision-making and support the maintenance of sibling connections. Aimed at children's social workers, family placement workers, and managers, this resource serves as an essential tool for ensuring the well-being and best possible outcomes for brothers and sisters in care.
