Abstract

This study aimed to understand the experience of adoptive parents who have completed dyadic developmental psychotherapy (DDP) therapy.

This report uses local authority data from March 2017 to estimate how many UK children under the age of five are at risk of severe harm, with a particular focus on infants under the age of one. 

This study sought to find out the current numbers of autistic Looked-After children formally recorded across local authorities in England, and whether their needs are given special attention via strategic planning and oversight, using Freedom of Information (FoI) requests sent to all local authorities in England.

This paper examines young people’s experiences of the aftercare planning process in Ireland drawing on data from the first phase of a qualitative longitudinal study of young people leaving care.

This report aims to provide the first estimate and profile of newborns in care proceedings in England using national population-level data and provide a critical discussion of the findings for further consideration and development by family justice stakeholders.
