Laws and Policies
Care navigation begins by developing clarity on the scope of influence Indigo Fostering supports relative to children’s legal rights & safeguarding obligations across health, education, and care services - critically evaluating risks versus returns, and balancing welfare against self-determination and bolstering independence.
Understanding Systemic Complexities
Advocating effectively first demands developing clarity on legal, policy and process landscapes shaping social care systems which will be an ongoing learning journey with Indigo Fostering. Beyond case-by case-firefighting, foster carer and children’s feedback can reveal systemic improvement opportunities for agency implementation.
