“…Consideration could be given to finding ways of quickly linking new carers with more experienced ones, a recommendation put forward by Denby (2011a). The benefits of such peer-support networks are well documented in the literature (Aziz et al, 2012;Lin, 2014). Yet, such innovations as these may need to be buttressed by discrete recognitional practices.…”

This study describes an investigation into the characteristics, needs and experiences of kinship foster carers in Northern Ireland. A number of salient themes were captured by adopting a mixed-methods approach with 54 carers. It was found that the respondents were predominantly grandparents who experienced a significant incidence of health-related issues. The cohort also endured high levels of stress, particularly at the beginning stage of the placement. Consequently, their need for practical, emotional and respite support was most evident. In terms of the children for whom they cared, many required help at school, and some presented with challenging emotions and behaviours. Overall, these findings emphasised the importance of relationship-based social work and demonstration of accurate empathy to the carer.

This methodological design was deemed necessary to deepen and better understand the role of social support in the processes experienced by families in the child protection system (Lin 2014). This multi-informant nature made it possible to find relevant aspects from different perspectives.…”

Social support is a crucial element for families in vulnerable situations, especially for those with children in foster care processes. This support is key to the acceptance of the protection measure in the initial moments and to laying the foundations for collaboration towards reunification. However, the social support of these families is limited, and families' use of support elements is strongly related to their attitude towards them. The aims of this article were to identify the types and characteristics of social support and to analyze what elements influence families' attitudes towards these supports. The qualitative study research was carried out in Spain through focus groups and interviews with 135 participants: 63 professionals from child protection services, 42 parents, and 30 children and adolescents who had been in foster care measures. Results show the diversity of social support resources available to families and demonstrate that families make unequal use of such resources depending on factors such as their experiences in the process of formalization and communication of the protection measure or their predisposition to receive support, among others. The important role played by social support resources in the promotion of factors that allow for successful reception and reunification is highlighted.

“…Dukungan sosial keluarga yang tinggi khususnya dari orang tua memberikan kenyamanan fisik dan psikologis bagi anak, dengan demikian anak akan merasa dicintai, diperhatikan, dihargai oleh orang lain dalam hal ini yaitu orang tuanya. Keterlibatan dari berbagai anggota keluarga juga dapat memberikan dampak positif terhadap anak (Lin, 2013). Selain itu dukungan sosial keluarga juga dapat berupa perawatan dari orang lain bahwa individu dapat merasakan, memberitahu dan menerima (Wang et al 2014).…”
