Abstract

The LinkedIn Education of Children in Care Network was established in 2011. After briefly contextualising this development, this article first describes the group's establishment and aims, as well as membership and geographical reach. A discussion of the main features of the group, along with some recent spin-offs, is then presented. The article concludes with an exploration of current challenges and learning, as well as providing some comment on possible future developments.
