ARC Adoption North East have recently completed a pilot of ARCBOX Communication Management Application. This is a child-centred, digital platform that houses an interactive life story tool and a communications app to safely facilitate and manage birth family contact.

The app can be used to manage the varying contact scenarios between birth families and all care settings, providing a meaningful and lasting impact on the online safety and digital resilience of children within the social care system by enabling better integration within policies, systems and processes.
