What does a social worker do?
A social worker is there to help people. There are social workers who support adults and families who are having a difficult time, social workers who help care for people who have health issues or disabilities, and there are social workers who help children and young people in foster care.
You will have a social worker from the local authority, whose job it is to support you, check how things are going and inform you of any plans that might affect you. To help support you and your foster parent, you will also have an Orange Grove social worker. The Orange Grove social worker will work with the local authority to help you stay safe and make sure you are well looked after by your foster family.
Your social workers are there for YOU, so you can always contact them if you have any worries or you need help with something.
