Specialist safety guidance for foster carers. Understand the unique online and offline risks for looked-after children and how to create a safe, supportive environment.
Foster carers face unique safeguarding challenges. The children in your care may have experienced trauma, may use technology to maintain contact with birth families, or may have developed risky online habits before placement. This guide helps you navigate these complexities while meeting your safeguarding obligations and building trust with the children you look after.
Looked-after children are statistically more vulnerable to online exploitation, grooming, and cyberbullying. They may have had inconsistent supervision before entering care and may use online relationships to fill emotional gaps. Your awareness and proactive approach to digital safety can be life-changing for these children.
