What Works for Children’s Social Care issued new education programmes after the coronavirus pandemic to help children who are getting support from a social worker.
The programmes fall into two broad categories:
- Helping children with a social worker to improve their educational attainment:
- it is important because children with a social worker averagely do worse at school than their peers,
- it includes for example a Catch Up Literacy program to support reading skills with the use of teaching assistants in schools.
- Supporting schools in the spotting of the signs of child neglect or child abuse and in providing the appropriate support for children:
- it includes the testing of projects that lead to better identification and more appropriate referrals to local authorities,
- in the trial of the Social Workers in Schools project an additional social worker was recruited by the local authority and placed in the randomly allocated schools,
- the program also provides social work supervision focused on tackling child sexual abuse.
