Abstract: |
Based on a research study following babies identified as likely to suffer significant harm before their first birthdays until they were three years old, this book explores key issues surrounding the safeguarding process. These include; how decisions to remove children from their families are made, and whether interventions from social workers and other professionals work are effective and the impact they have on children's life pathways. It also examines the role various participants, including parents, have in decision-making. The findings of the study reveal a close link between decisions, maltreatment and children's developmental problems, and provide key implications and recommendations for policy and practice. The book is aimed at anyone involved in safeguarding children, including practitioners, policymakers, academics and researchers. Topics covered include: initial assessments, core assessments and Section 47 Enquiries; the children; the parents and their circumstances; referrals and assessments; pathways to permanence, temporary measures to safeguard children; how far were the children safeguarded; professional perspectives; and parents' perspectives. The book concludes with a summary of the key findings, their implications for policy and practice, and a discussion of methodological limitations concerning recruitment and retention of the study sample. |
