Dr Layla Harding, a clinical psychologist at Royal Holloway University of London, reflects on research seeking a deeper understanding of caregiving within the broader contexts of parents’ life experiences, relationships, and social circumstances.
A study led by Kingston University, in collaboration with NCB, Policy in Practice, the University of Sussex and Research in Practice, has found that the poorest households are more likely to experience repeat social care involvement and escalation to child protection plans.
The first findings from the COACHES project conclude children with social work involvement are more likely to be rejected by NHS mental health services compared to their peers.
