posted on 2015-07-08, 14:15 authored by Harriet Ward, Rebecca Brown, Georgia Hyde-DrydenAssessing Parental Capacity to Change when Children are on the Edge of Care is an
overview of current research evidence, bringing together some of the key research
messages concerning factors which promote or inhibit parental capacity to change in
families where there are significant child protection concerns. It is intended to serve as a
reference resource for social workers in their work to support families where children’s
safety and developmental functioning are at risk. Its purpose is also to assist social
workers and children’s guardians in delivering more focused and robust assessments of
parenting capability and parental capacity to change, and assist judges and other legal
professionals in evaluating the quality of assessment work in court proceedings. The
report brings together research findings from a wide range of disciplines, which are not
otherwise readily available in one location for social workers, family justice professionals
and other practitioners with safeguarding responsibilities. [Continues]
