Parents with learning difficulties in the child protection system

Experiences and perspectives

Tim Booth

University of Sheffield, UK

The article documents the views and feelings of parents with learning difficulties as they reflect on their first-hand experience of going through care proceedings. Drawing on interviews conducted as part of a wider study of how cases involving mothers and fathers with learning difficulties are handled by the child protection system and the family courts, the authors provide a parental perspective on assessments, support, case conferences and the court process as well as the after-effects on the families themselves.

Key Words: child protection • learning difficulties • parents
