Enhancing outcomes through children's literature
This article considers how child outcomes can be improved through parent/child reading. The article suggests that while this process is well understood in education, it may be overlooked by other child welfare professionals. The article argues that practitioners can utilize this process when assessing and intervening with children in need and looking after children. It draws from a literature review and empirical study and summarizes some key fin…

This paper presents some findings from a study of the views of 33 parents from a diversity of backgrounds with children between 0 and 12. Twenty‐two parents were using family support services. They were asked about their views on ‘parenting capacity’ based on the dimensions of The Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and Their Families (Department of Health et al .) which are now incorporated into the Common Assessment Framework used …

Parenting and the Harry Potter stories
This paper analyses the capacities of the parents in the Harry Potter stories, written by J. K. Rowling, from a social care perspective. It argues that there is a synergy between what the social sciences have discovered about ‘good enough parenting’ and the insights that can be gathered from entering the imaginative world of literature. This is illustrated by a discussion of the qualities of the parents and parent substitutes in the four books pu…
Family Assistance Orders and the Children Act 1989
This paper considers a little used provision of the 1989 Children Act (England and Wales), the Family Assistance Order. This Order, has been made infrequently, despite its capacity to provide a means of supporting families through the transition, change and potential difficulties which separations, divorce and building of new family units may involve. The paper argues that there are ambiguities in the current framework for the Order, reviews rese…
The spiritual needs of children
Social workers consider the needs of children from a range of perspectives, which usually embrace the social, psychological, emotional, cognitive and cultural. This paper considers how the spiritual dimension of children's development is part of a holistic understanding of the needs and rights of children, young people, families and communities
The role of the senior practice teacher in DipSW delivery (or the stitching in the patchwork of local authority placements)
This paper describes the usefulness of these posts in improving the quality and quantity of practice learning experiences for students. The material is edited by a university lecturer and practice co-ordinator from the responses of three senior practice teachers to an evaluation questionnaire. The responses are described under six headings: contribution to planning and organising placements; blocks to planning and organising placements; improving…
Child protection revisited
This paper explores selected findings from a qualitative study of the 1989 Children Act, which examined ways in which the new definitions of significant harm were being interpreted in practice. Significant harm is seen as a major site where state intervention and family autonomy are balanced, especially through establishing thresholds for intervention. The data are analysed in relation to the social work processes of assessment, intervention and …
Religious Persuasion and the Children Act
The Children Act 1989 requires local authorities to give due consideration to a child's religious persuasion when planning for their future. Janet Seden explores what this may mean and reviews some practice and policy implications
