- Arranging Support Services They coordinate additional support for children, such as therapy or learning assistance, whenever necessary.
- Day-to-Day Assistance Supporting foster carers with meetings, report writing, and record-keeping is integral to their role. They also monitor each child’s progress in their placement and conduct required statutory visits.
- Facilitating Birth Family Connections Supervising social workers help manage and maintain contact between children and their birth families when appropriate, and support foster carers in handling the emotions tied to these interactions.
- Identifying Training Opportunities, they assess foster carers’ needs for further training, guiding them to enhance their skills, achieve personal goals, and meet high standards of care.
