Contact Between Children In Care Or Adopted Children And Their Families: Research

October 7, 2020

The Nuffield Family Justice Observatory (FJO) has published a briefing paper on six key messages from research into contact between children in care or adopted children and their families. The key messages are:

  • Focus on the quality of contact.
  • Listen to the views of children and young people.
  • Recognise the significance of siblings, grandparents, wider family and friends.
  • Ensure that all involved are clear about the purpose of contact.
  • Ensure that contact plans are tailored to each child and regularly reviewed.
  • Ensure skilled professional support is available.

You may have seen John Lewis Partnership announce their intention to become a  fostering friendly employer.
FosterSupport is one of the organisations who have been working with them over the past year. After many months of collaboration this August we facilitated a series of bespoke training courses to JLP managers to give them an insight into the trauma informed training foster carers use when supporting young people to enable them to better understand how to support their care experienced employees. This collaboration will continue next year as they continue to expand their employment scheme. We have also had meetings to provide advice and information to support their bespoke fostering friendly employer scheme. With our support they plan to make this the gold standard policy for fostering friendly organisations. HERE is the video we made for them to promote the internal training sessions. The feedback we received from them about the training was brilliant.
