Parents with learning difficulties in the child protection system: experiences and perspectives
1Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield, UK. T.Booth@Sheffield.ac.uk
Abstract:
The article documents the views and feelings of parents with learning difficulties as they reflect on their first-hand experience of going through care proceedings. Drawing on interviews conducted as part of a wider study of how cases involving mothers and fathers with learning difficulties are handled by the child protection system and the family courts, the authors provide a parental perspective on assessments, support, case conferences and the court process as well as the after-effects on the families themselves.
