Babies in care proceedings: What do we know about parents with learning disabilities or difficulties?
Over 500 people attended a webinar that presented and discussed new research findings on the prevalence, circumstances and experiences of parents with learning disabilities or difficulties who are involved in care proceedings with their babies.
The research – carried out by the Institute of Public Care at Oxford Brookes University and published on 12 June 2024 by Nuffield Family Justice Observatory – is based on an examination of court bundles, children’s social care records and interviews with parents, lawyers and social care professionals in England.
Nuffield Family Justice Observatory (Nuffield FJO) has been working to strengthen the evidence base around children and families’ experiences of separation and court proceedings, with the aim of supporting judges, lawyers, mediators, social workers and policy makers to have informed multidisciplinary discussions on how to better meet families’ needs.
The webinar included:
- A presentation from Professor Katy Burch, Lead Researcher, Institute of Public Care at Oxford Brookes University, on the research findings and recommendations
- Views from parents with learning disabilities or difficulties who have been involved in care proceedings with their babies
- Views from a range of professionals who support parents with learning disabilities and difficulties
- Questions from the audience and a panel discussion
The session will be of particular interest to judges, lawyers, intermediaries and social workers – both those working with children and those working with adults with learning disabilities.
