Social Worker (SW)
Your social worker will visit you to see how you are
doing. Some of what they do is to make sure you
are safe, happy and being well looked after.
They will listen to your wishes and feelings and
where possible, support your family to be able to
care for you again. Your social worker works for the
local authority. It is the local authority’s job to make
sure that every child is safe and happy.
Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO)
You will have your own IRO, just like Fuzzy does
and it is your IRO’s job to
check that the local
authority are doing
everything they can
to make you happy
while you are
staying with your
foster family and
speak up for what
they feel is best for
you.
