This project, funded by the Department for Education (DfE)’s Children’s Social Care Innovation Programme, looked at how young people in care aged between 12 and 18 use technology and how technology may support them with the additional issues they face as they navigate through adolescence and their care journey to independence and adulthood. The University of Kent, University of Portsmouth, ‘Snook’ and ‘Affective State’ (SME’s) was given a substantial grant to investigate if and how traumatised young people in care and their carers would want to use technology to keep them safe.
