There is a growing understanding of the associated challenges—not least in terms of cost and placement availability. However, there has been limited discussion of the difficulties associated with children being made subject to a Care Order, but who remain living at home with their parents. This article reports on an iterative mixed method study which sought to explore child protection social workers' experiences of 'Care Orders at home'. It discusses the prevalence of 'Care Orders at home' within Northwest England and identifies specific challenges in the context of 'managing child protection partners' expectations'; apparent 'confusion and disempowerment of the child and family' and 'an increased sense of risk' with respect to several of the key stakeholders involved. Implications that emerge from the study are that a 'Care Order at home' might, in some circumstances, be considered as a 'contradictory' and therefore 'confusing' concept, and that it can offer less protection to a child than a care plan for 'No Order' running concurrently to a detailed child protection plan. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
