Parents who neglect children present considerable challenges to
child welfare professionals, and are often resistant to change.
This book addresses an urgent need to ensure that social care
interventions provide better long term outcomes for neglected
children across services. Based on a substantial research study
into social care provision for children, it provides a rare insight
into the experiences of neglected children over a period of five
years, examining the responsiveness of parents and children to
social care support and their progress. Close-focus study of the
decisions made on either side of services - by the children, the
parents, the caregivers and related social and healthcare
professionals - shows what works and what doesn't, in the long
term. This important book highlights gaps in provision for
neglected children after the initial referral stage, the risks and
potential for professional interventions and how well the child
protection system and the courts protect children. It suggests ways
that local authorities and other professionals can meet the complex
needs of the children most likely to fall through the safety net,
the factors related to good outcomes for them and how to improve
safeguarding strategies within and beyond children's services.
Providing a critical account of policy, systems and practice, this
book is essential reading for anyone who needs the latest evidence
about safeguarding children, including policymakers, social workers
and professionals in health care and the family justice system.
