Parents with a learning disability face a high risk of losing their children, and current support for them is inadequate. This book, based on original research, looks into current social care practice and the support systems available to parents with learning disabilities, evaluating their effectiveness and examining their impact on the families affected.This book will aid understanding of how to effectively assess children in families where one or more parent has a learning disability without sidelining them in the process. The authors present many case studies and point out perceived shortcomings, along with suggestions to improve current social care practice and promote the welfare of children in need.This will prove to be an invaluable source of information for all social workers and other professionals working with someone who is both a parent and has a learning disability.
Preface. Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction. 2. Referrals to Children's Social Care. 3. Involving Families in the Assessment Process. 4. The Provision of Services and Outcomes for Children. 5. Conclusions. Appendix I: Definitions, Aims and Methods. Appendix II: Tables. References. Index.
Thought provoking and insightful book. A sound evidence based book with relates appropiately and directly to practice and should provide students and practitioners alike an opportunity to re-examine their ethics, values and professional practice when working with families whose parent or parents have a learning disability.
