Supporting looked-after children and children with a social worker

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in supporting looked-after children and children with a social worker in an early years setting. It focuses on safe, respectful and consistent practice, working with families and carers, and following safeguarding and local procedures. It does not prove competence. It helps identify learning needs and areas to discuss in supervision. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Follow your employer policy and speak with your manager or designated safeguarding lead before carrying out related tasks independently.
