International Perspectives on the State-as-Parent
Too many children remain at risk of harm, regrettably, in all too many societies. This is despite the almost universal acceptance of the 1990 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Its intention, arguably somewhat naively, is to create two state imperatives: to protect children against threats of harm; and to advance their welfare. Governments, however, have evidenced a pragmatic reluctance to meet these challenges, perhaps…
Child protection and welfare
Child protection and welfare have become international issues in a globalized world. Ideas about childhood and the upbringing of children vary widely, depending upon the prevailing economic, socio-cultural, religious, and political contexts. These have had dramatic effects on the way societies value children, and the role acquired by the state in their protection and advancing their well-being. Children, however, remain at risk. They are placed a…
Time is of the Essence
The Children and Families Act 2014 has introduced a 26-week timeline for Children Act 1989 care and supervision court cases. This article discusses the risks and possible ramifications for children and parents of this measure, which halves the average length of care proceedings. This is to be set against evidence that faster resolution of children’s cases is possible without prejudicing the quality of court decision making; however, careful monit…
John Triseliotis, Selected Writings on Adoption, Fostering and Child Care
This book is an edited selection of writing chosen from John Triseliotis’ long career dedicated to understanding the impact of adoption and fostering on children and young people, and working to im
The education of children in care
Purpose This paper seeks to explore three key aspects of the education of children in care: the composition of that population of children and the extent to which they differ from the general population of children due to difficulties most of them have experienced prior to as well as after entering care; issues relating to the identification of causal relationships and the extent of “underachievement” by children in care; and any evidence that ca…
Twenty-first century social work
This article explores the thesis that there is a discernable ‘direction for social work’ in Britain, and considers the ways in which its development is influenced by state policies influenced by New Managerialist, ‘market’ based and neoliberal ideologies. It concludes that there have been substantial changes across services for children, for adults and in social work education over the last decade that reflect the ethos of central government poli…
The Parent Concerns Questionnaire and Parenting Stress Index
There is a long‐standing interest in finding ways to develop systematic and consistent means for conducting assessments. Behind this lies a concern with issues such as adequate responses to need, prevention, early intervention and evidence‐based practice. The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) has been developed for wide use for families with additional needs, for various contexts, including children's centres. This, however, has been subject to s…
The professionalisation of social work
This article compares the professional features of social work in ten countries. It is based on detailed descriptions of the professional features of social work in Chile, Germany, Hungary, India, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the USA. Social work in these countries is discussed in terms of eight features, chosen as marks of a profession on the basis of the ‘attributes’ and ‘power’ approaches to professionalisation: public recog…
Service users as gatekeepers in Children's Centres
Children's Centres are the latest in a line of initiatives designed to provide neighbourhood‐based family support. These are part of a spectrum of preventive services from Universalist (primary prevention) to permanence and rehabilitative work (quaternary). High levels of need confronted by tertiary Child Care Social Work and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, mean that the contribution of these centres at secondary level and responsive…
Social work in the UK and the global labour market
English While the global movement of skilled labour is widely documented, there has been little analysis of its significance for UK social work, or for the sending countries involved. The ethical implications of UK reliance on overseas trained practitioners are considered, including a Code of Good Practice for ethical recruitment in social work. French Tandis que les mouvements mondiaux de la main-doeuvre qualifiée sont amplement documentés, très…

Videotaped Evidence of Children
A sample of videotapes carried out in accordance with the ‘Memorandum of Good Practice’ in one Child Protection Unit was evaluated to ascertain any factors associated with disclosure of abuse during the interview. The sample of children selected for interview was compared with the group of all children referred to the Unit during the study period. It was found that such interviews are used primarily for victims of suspected sexual abuse. Only vid…
