Synopsis

Foster care and social networking examines the challenges faced by all parties involved with fostered children and looks at how foster carers can help children make the most out of opportunities the internet can bring, while minimising online risks to themselves and their family. It looks at the pressing questions facing foster carers and fostering workers, including: What do foster carers, birth relatives and social workers need to know about foster care in the age of social networking? How can they be equipped for new challenges? What do workers and carers need to know about protecting privacy and security online so that they can give advice to young people? How can social workers help foster families to manage the complex situations that can arise from the use of social networking sites?
