Lifelong Links, was developed by Family Rights Group (FRG) in collaboration with key stakeholders including local authorities, children in care and care leavers, families, foster carers and social workers, in a bid to help children reconnect and maintain relationships with people important to them.
The programme, funded through the Department for Education’s Children’s Social Care Innovation Programme, sees a Lifelong Links coordinator work with a child to find out who they would like to be back in touch with and who they would like to know.
The coordinator searches for these people, using a variety of tools and techniques, and then brings them altogether in a Lifelong Links family group conference to make a plan of support with and for the child. This plan is then embedded in the child’s care or pathway plan.
