The Challenge of neglect conferences
• Multi-factorial
• Practitioner domain
• Start again syndrome
• Rule of optimism
• Incident driven
• Neglect most difficult for practitioners
• Parents more likely to be difficult to engage

Naming neglect
• “I think, well, it’s better if it’s spelt out, because it’s just a word that people put their own interpretation on and I think you know it is quite hurtful to hear, you’re neglecting your kids.” (Chair 6)
![Page 10: Keeping the Neglected Child in Focus in Child Protection ...socstudies.group.shef.ac.uk/childwelfareconf/workshop/A/27012015...Keeping the Neglected Child in Focus in Child Protection](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ab3d5247f8b9a1a048b4afd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Planning
• Limited time for discussion in conference
• Styles of planning styles : - parent-focused (7/14) - no concerns (3/14) - child focused (4/14)
• Roles of the Chair and the core group

Child protection plans
• Vague actions: what is an outline plan?
• Lack of clarity regarding timescales
• Negotiable and non-negotiable
• Focus of plan: (Horwath, 2013, Harlow and Shardlow, 2006; Farmer and Lutman, 2010, Munro, 2011; Davies and Ward, 2012).

Background
‘the child is a person and not an object of concern’ (Dame Bulter-Sloss, CM 412, 1988 p245)
failure of workers to “assemble and analyse information …..through the eyes of the child” (Lord Laming CM 5730, 2003 4.189, p69)
…too often the focus on the child was lost; adequate steps were not taken to establish the wishes and feelings of children and young people; and their voice was not heard sufficiently. (Ofsted, 2011)
![Page 20: Keeping the Neglected Child in Focus in Child Protection ...socstudies.group.shef.ac.uk/childwelfareconf/workshop/A/27012015...Keeping the Neglected Child in Focus in Child Protection](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ab3d5247f8b9a1a048b4afd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Who shares what information about a child and their family at a child protection conference?
• To what extent is information about parenting capacity, context and issues explored in relation to the developmental needs of the child?
• What difference is there to the quality of information about individual children and their lived experience if more than one child in the family is discussed at the conference?
• How has information been obtained and presented about the child’s experience, wishes and feelings?

• If the child is present at the conference, to what extent are they given a voice?
• To what extent do conference members provide information about the day in the life of the child?
• What information is used to inform the content of the child protection plan?
• What promoters and inhibitors do the workforce identify in relation to maintaining a child focus?

Exercise 1: 5 minutes
• What strategies do you have to ensure good information sharing about individual children at conferences?
• How could you incorporate more information about the child’s daily life?

Parents
• Practitioners’ views:
Sometimes the parents get so locked in to, particularly on initial conferences, into the battle with professionals to prove their innocence etc. that actually they don’t want to talk about the child at all so I think it’s more often the parents that divert away from the child. (Chair 3)
![Page 33: Keeping the Neglected Child in Focus in Child Protection ...socstudies.group.shef.ac.uk/childwelfareconf/workshop/A/27012015...Keeping the Neglected Child in Focus in Child Protection](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ab3d5247f8b9a1a048b4afd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Exercise 2: 5 minutes
