Scaling up research on family justice using large-scale administrative data
This article outlines the value of administrative data for family justice research. Although socio-legal scholars have extended their research beyond purely theoretical or doctrinal analyses, studies using large-scale digital datasets remain few in number. As new opportunities arise to link large-scale administrative datasets across health, education, welfare and justice, it is vital that the community of family justice researchers and analysts a…
When disputants dispute
Mediation is predicated on the notion that disputants have an argument or disagreement about something. Mediation is set up with a “neutral” mediator to enable an agreement to emerge from competing positions. Mediators are appointed by a third-party (e.g., courts) to enable a neutral forum for joint decision making, where disputants can set out their proposals and negotiate an agreement where possible. However, in the family mediation sessions in…

What might children mean by a ‘meaningful relationship’
The concept of a meaningful relationship is a key part of the Family Law Amendment (Shared Parental Responsibility) Act 2006. Although intuitively attractive as an idea there remain some questions about the precise meaning of the term ‘meaningful’. In this paper I explore what children themselves might define by meaningful relationships. I draw on some material from a UK study of contact to illustrate some of the ways in which school-age children…
Maternal Gate Closing and Gate Opening in Postdivorce Families
This study explores the processes by which custodial mothers can support and inhibit fathers' relationships following divorce and separation. It draws on qualitative interviews with resident mothers and nonresident fathers from 54 separated families, including 22 sets of former couples. The study found that mothers adopt a range of strategies, from proactive gate opening to gate closing, and that these strategies appear influential. Maternal perc…
Fairness, Efficiency and Effectiveness in Court-based Dispute Resolution Schemes in England
In recent years in England there has been renewed emphasis on court-based dispute resolution schemes (in-court conciliation) as a means to avoid the use of contested hearings in litigated contact cases. These alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are believed to be less likely to fuel parental conflict, more likely to result in an outcome tailored to individual circumstances and to be accepted by the parties as well as reducing delay and cost…

The Rights and Wrongs of Post-Adoption Intermediary Services for Birth Relatives
Liz Trinder examines the ethics of post-adoption intermediary services on behalf of the birth relatives of adults who were adopted as children. Intermediary services can be seen as an attempt to equalise the rights to search of birth relatives and adopted people. They also reflect wider beliefs about the importance of genealogical information and openness. By their very nature, however, intermediary services dispense with the informed consent of …

Familiar subjects? Domestic violence and child welfare
Historically, domestic violence and child welfare have been seen as largely separate concerns. Over the last decade domestic violence has finally gained a place on social work agendas, partly as a result of linking domestic violence with child protection issues. Whilst welcoming the extent to which domestic violence is being taken seriously, we raise concerns about the dominant feminist perspectives guiding this project. We argue that current fem…

Social work research
This paper provides a critical review of current trends within social work research methodology. The paper identifies three influential contemporary perspectives in social work research: empirical practice, pragmatism and participatory/critical research. It identifies the different approaches taken by each perspective to what should be researched, how it should be researched, and how truth claims should be evaluated. By exploring the linkages bet…
