Violence prevention through legislative change
Physical punishment violates children's rights as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and has consistently been linked to detrimental outcomes, yet it remains legal in most countries. In the UK, it is prohibited in Scotland and Wales, whereas in England and Northern Ireland, the defence of 'reasonable punishment' remains available to parents. We report findings from a qualitative study that sought to understand how law reform…
Young children's lives in East London through the pandemic
Children's lives in the Covid‐19 pandemic were subject to unparalleled restrictions on and disruption to their daily lives. This paper explores the day‐to‐day relational, social participation and activities of young children in one East London borough in early 2021, as told through qualitative interviews with their parents. We adopt a social‐ecological model of children's development, a child rights focused understanding of well‐being, underpinne…
Invisible children
Many thousands of very young children pass through the UK care system every year. Understandably, social workers are reluctant to separate children from their parents, and legal protections designed to prevent the separation from becoming permanent lead to constant delay in making longer-term plans. The aim is that the children should either be returned to their birth families or placed for adoption, but this is not achieved in up to 50% of cases…
What Family Circumstances, During Covid-19, Impact on Parental Mental Health in an Inner City Community in London
The introduction of lockdown due to a public health emergency in March 2020 marked the beginning of substantial changes to daily life for all families with young children. Here we report the experience of families from London Borough of Tower Hamlets with high rates of poverty and ethnic and linguistic diversity. This inner city community, like communities worldwide, has experienced a reduction or closure in access to education, support services,…
Care leavers in early adulthood
Leaving Care in the UK and Scandinavia
In both the UK and Scandinavia, young people leaving care have traditionally experienced accelerated and compressed transition pathways, without access to the levels of practical, financial and emotional support that are typically available to their peers in the general population. Heightened awareness that young people leaving care are vulnerable to poor outcomes has led academics and (to varying degrees) the charitable sector and politicians to…
What Kind of Trouble? Meeting the Health Needs of ‘Troubled Families’ through Intensive Family Support
The policy rhetoric of the UK Coalition government's ‘Troubled Families’ initiative, and that of New Labour's earlier Respect Agenda, share an emphasis on families’ responsibilities, or rather their irresponsibility, and their financial costs to society. Giving children a chance of a better life coincides, in this framing, with reducing costs for the taxpayer. The research reported here was based on a national study of Family Intervention Project…
Continuing educational participation among children in care in five countries
Young people who have spent all or part of their childhoods in public care are at particular risk of social exclusion as adults and yet the pathway out of exclusion identified by policy-makers at both European and national levels, namely, education, is very difficult to access. Using data from a five-country study of the post-compulsory educational pathways of young people in public care, this paper examines the rates of participation of young pe…
Participation in social, leisure and informal learning activities among care leavers in England
Against a background of research and national statistics that consistently show that educational participation and achievement of young people in and leaving care is significantly lower than is the case for the non‐care population, previous research has shown the positive impact that social, leisure and informal learning activities can have on the educational participation and achievements of young people, and particularly those from disadvantage…
