Child and Parent Outcomes in the London Family Drug and Alcohol Court Five Years On
Parental substance misuse is a major social problem of international concern and frequent cause of referral to child protection agencies and court proceedings due to the significant child harm it can cause.

Despite the better results of Family…

Features of FDAC as a problem-solving court are outlined and findings of an independent evaluation are …
The concept of significant harm in law and practice
This article examines the value of the concept of significant harm some 20 years after its introduction in the Children Act 1989. It introduces the concept of significant harm and then discusses the profile of children and families in care proceedings, the decision‐making process, the interpretation of significant harm in case law, ‘panic’ and its impact on patterns of referrals for case proceedings, and the issue of resources. An alternative mod…
The Role of the Court in Cases Concerning Parental Substance Misuse and Children at Risk of Harm
This article explores the potential of a specialist family drug and alcohol court, a new court‐based intervention to be piloted by government, for children at risk of care proceedings due to parental substance misuse. It examines the reasons for the initiative and considers its potential to improve outcomes for children. It concludes with a discussion of the key issues to be tested out through an independent evaluation of the pilot
Parental Substance Misuse and Child Welfare
This paper reports on placement and welfare outcomes for children allocated a social worker where there was a concern about parental misuse of drugs or alcohol. All files going for allocation for long term work in four London boroughs over on average one year were examined (290 families). Of the 290, 100 families with 186 children involved concerns about parental substance misuse. File studies were carried out at allocation and two years post-ref…
Parental substance misuse and child care social work
Parental misuse of drugs or alcohol is known to be a common issue for child care social workers, yet there has been surprisingly little British research on the topic. The study reported here attempts to address this gap. All files going for long‐term allocation in four London boroughs over on average 1 year were examined (290 files). Parental substance misuse (PSM) emerged as a major feature of social work caseloads. Of the 290 cases, 100 (34%) i…
Child Poverty and Social Exclusion in Post-Communist Societies
Poverty has increased with the shift to the market economy in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and families with children have been particularly exposed to social deprivation. However, a poverty approach alone cannot explain the higher risks for child well-being across the region. When the outcomes are measured by social cohesion factors, they are found to be worse in several countries with less acute poverty increases than…
