Agamben and the political positioning of child welfare-involved mothers in child protective services
In the UK, protecting children from maltreatment is an administrative and juridical system with law as ultimate arbiter of whether a mother may retain care of her child. The primary legal principle is the child’s best interests. This article draws on Giorgio Agamben’s (1995) theory of ‘bare life’ to examine the identity and the political positioning of child welfare-involved mothers in contemporary Western child protection systems to complement t…
Practitioner–mother relationships and the processes that bind them
This paper outlines a theoretical contribution to conceptualizing practitioner–mother relationships in child protection social work. It examines what is represented when these face‐to‐face encounters takes place. It suggests an intersubjective dimension where mothers are in effect asked to give an account of themselves. Drawing on humanities and social science writing, practitioner–mother relations are examined to analyse their symbolic and liter…
Locked Out of Prevention? The Identity of Child and Family-Oriented Social Work in Scottish Post-Devolution Policy
The post-devolution settlement in 1999 created the environment for major national policy and legislative reform across all dimensions of Scottish life. This paper seeks to understand better the place of child and family-oriented social work in post-devolution Scotland. Scottish social work policy in general and children's services policy in particular are analysed to consider where policy makers appear to locate social work resources. An alternat…
Anxiety and child protection – implications for practitioner–parent relations
Social work practitioners face powerful existential threats in child protection. Core aspects of anxiety and their significance for practitioner–parent relations are identified. Social and psychoanalytic theories are utilized to suggest that the production of anxiety in child protection stems from multiple sources and that insufficient attention has been paid to the social context of poverty and disadvantage. Menzies' core analytic categories of …
Care and protection in Scottish child welfare
Since the inception of the Scottish children's hearings system, an increasing concentration of child care and protection referrals has emerged. Data on 225 children referred on care and protection grounds are examined. Children faced a double jeopardy of personal adversity against a background of social and economic disadvantage. A smaller group of children were also victims of an offence by an adult. A significant proportion of children had mult…
Disentangling Offenders and Non‐Offenders in the Scottish Children's Hearings
Children referred to the Scottish children's hearings tribunals system on offence and non‐offence grounds were compared to explore whether more similarities than differences were found in their underlying realities and actual needs. This was the contention of the Kilbrandon Committee in 1964 , which led to the establishment of the children's hearings system. The hearings system is distinctive in that decision making for children who offend and th…
Family support and the Scottish children's hearings system
Evidence from a study of 1155 children referred to the children's hearings system in Scotland in 1995 found many of the children could be characterized as ‘children in need’. As found in other child care research, limited voluntary help was available to them, the majority received ‘no action’ and a substantial group a compulsory supervision requirement. The critical need for the strategic development of family support services in child welfare po…
Children's hearings in Scotland
This paper outlines some key findings from a study of 1,155 children referred in 1995 to the children's hearings system in Scotland. The majority of children formally processed in the system were found to come from less well off families, often facing multiple adversities. Children subject to compulsory measures of supervision were especially likely to have backgrounds characterized by factors associated with social disadvantage. The national pic…

Justice and welfare
The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 introduces important changes that may in the long term undermine the principles of early intervention, partnership and child welfare embodied in the Children‘s Hearings System. The Act can also be seen to represent a shift towards a more justice-oriented approach to child-care decision-making. Paradoxically whilst child-care policy is moving towards a renewed interest in prevention, family support and partnership,…
