In this week’s episode Hannah and Matt speak with Michele Simmons, Simon Howarth and Natasha Phillips, authors of ‘Eroding the Right to Family Life: Human Rights violations in Britain’s child protection systems’. This episode explores the findings of this report, developed through the voices of over 600 parents and young people who have experienced child protection and care proceedings, exploring the harm the system can cause, as well as recommendations of how the system can work better ‘with’ children and their families. For social workers and others working in the child protection system, this episode may be difficult to listen to, but often it is the voices which are difficult to hear, that we need to listen to and can learn the most from.

Episode 1 featuring Dr. Beverley Barnett-Jones, Associate Director for System and Impact at the Nuffield Justice Observatory. This episode will introduce you to the podcast hosts, Matt Clayton and Hannah Bedford, and explore how to create hope and support change with families, recognising the struggles which families face, balancing when the state needs to intervene in the lives of children, young people and families, considering the stress which state intervention can cause for families, balancing this with the need to safeguard children and young people from significant harm, and considering how to support those families who do require children’s social care involvement to feel safe, enabling social workers to effectively work ‘with’ families.
