As a residential child care worker, I am keen to learn more from others working within this field as there is little research or literature on care homes in Scotland and the existing publications have mostly focused on historical abuse. I believe much can be learned by sharing experiences and promoting a positive image as this is so often considered only as a last resort after all other placements have failed. Instead it should be seen as a positive choice for some young people who need this. Social media allows information ideas and experiences to be shared world wide, opening our minds to other theories and treatments. It enables practitioners to connect, inspire, motivate and learn from each other networking those who work in residential care near and far. This is a chance to develop the skills and practice needed to care for the most vulnerable children in Scotland, to challenge stigma and change views and perceptions about those who live and work in children's homes.
