Researching Family Involvement in Serious Case Reviews

Relatively little is currently known about the family experiences of participation, the differing local arrangements and the components of good practice in this challenging area. BASPCAN is funding research which aims to address some of the learning needs arising from the expectations of participation and in so doing also seeks to ensure harmful policies and practices are avoided.

CHILD WELFARE PROFESSIONALS' EXPERIENCES OF SUPERVISION

A Study of the Supervision Experiences of Professionals who Attended BASPCAN's 2009 National Congress

BASPCAN holds a National Congress every three years for all those professionals who are involved in child welfare/child protection work. The most recent Congress was held between 13th and 16th September 2009 in Swansea. At previous Congresses BASPCAN officers used the Congress as an opportunity to undertake a study of professional practice as it was relatively easy and inexpensive to ask delegates to complete questionnaires. Prior to the 2009 Congress a number of reports, such as Ofsted's Joint Area Review Report into the death of Baby P and reports into child deaths in Doncaster, had drawn attention to the lack of adequate support and supervision available to professionals who engage in child protection work so it was decided that BASPCAN's Congress 2009 study should focus on supervision.

The results of this questionnaire how now been analysed and collated and the full report of the 'Supervision Questionnaire' findings can be viewed here (pdf document).
