Junior practitioners may come with skills in ICT and social media from their personal lives - but as they enter the workplace their opportunities to use those technologies disappear.
Junior practitioner's attempts to look at how to use the technology may be squashed by management or unhelpful systems & junior practitioners may not have the skills at managing upwards, negotiating for the use of technology, or thinking about the organisational change to get engagement with technology.
How could we equip junior practitioners with the soft skills they might need in order to be the drivers of change and adoption of tools.

Social care staff get into the field to help people not to become an ICT professional. ICT technologies need to make their lives easier - not more difficult. And need to be viewed as 'integrated with work' not an add-on.

There were four post-its on this theme:
Allowing practitioner access online during working hours - unblocking sites but also alerting when they've been unblocked.
Access to web tools (IT blocking).
Unblocking the barriers http://www.interactivecharter.org/
Support Tim's 50 barriers work to chunk down 'the problem' into byte-sized peices.

For practice managers who know they should support digital outreach but are worried their staff will spend hours surfing Bebo...setup a recurring Google service to alert then to local activity.
@timdavies has created a 'how to' for this - see his website.

Embedding the use of online social networks for information sharing...a policy

How do we balance the responsibility as 'corporate parents' to be accountable to natural parents and the general public with the need to be less risk averse in allowing young people more freedom to access social media. Education, policy and support for staff.

Don't forget the lessons from human service technology history.

What current policy-based and political frameworks do we need to engage with a) indirectly related areas; b) in in-direct areas

Field of dreams: if it is not a baseball pitch, what sort of design would connect across all agencies involved in social care.

How can we make links/research projects? Some amazing people in the room it would be a travesty not to.
