Parental adequacy is widely seen as a function of individual parenting skills. This assumption renders parents with learning difficulties vulnerable to discriminatory treatment in child protection work. A presumption of incompetence leads practitioners to focus on the parents’ deficits and intensifies concerns about the welfare of the children. Using case material from a recent study, the authors argue for a wider conception of good‐enough parenting that takes into account the external pressures that impact on family functioning
