Catch up on our annual children’s social care forum in abbreviated form a little early this year. We hope to be able to see you all in person in 2021 but for now we welcome you to our one hour mini forum. This will also offer us the opportunity to get together briefly before the Christmas holidays. We hope to add value without soaking up too much of your time.
This one-hour forum will provide you with short updates to include:
- The impact of Covid-19 on the delivery of child protection services and the risks that impact creates for providers and their funders in the immediate future
- Practical consequences of dealing with allegations of ‘peer on peer’ abuse by children in health, social care and education settings
- The risks both providers and commissioners face in sourcing and providing residential placements for children with a brief look at vicarious liability and non-delegable duties.

Challenges from potential Foster Carers and Adopters
Our immediate future shows a renewed focus on foster care. We’re going to see a new nationwide-drive to recruit foster carers and the implementation of a more robust, and potentially financially-generous system for encouraging friends and family to care for their relatives (both when extended families cannot cope or provide care for any reason).
