'A RIGHT blether' with Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People (Part 2) | Katie Brown shares her experiences of being involved in developing and delivering a large-scale programme of participative consultation with children and young people from across Scotland. 'A RIGHT blether' created an opportunity for children and young people to share their opinions and experiences, to say what's important to them, and to inform the work of the Commissioner. In this clip, Katie outlines what children and young people considered to be 'Right Brilliant Things' in their lives and the result of the vote. In a ballot, children and young people were asked to identify what they thought was most important to them in four categories. Each category contained different options that had emerged from earlier stages of the consultation, and children signalled a preference overall for: (In the home) help us to be safe and secure in our home; (Where we learn) help us have the same chances, no matter how much money our families have; (In the community): Help us feel safe and respected; (In Scotland): Help everyone to include each other, no matter how different we all are. Katie then explains how the results of the vote have informed the strategy and activities being taken forward by the Commissioner’s office.

Safeguarding children of adults in receipt of palliative care | Carole Comben speaks about a study that was conducted on the role of the palliative care social worker in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children of adults who are receiving palliative care. The background is that whilst there is a stress on the importance of the family in palliative care, reference in the literature generally refers to partners, adult relatives and carers. There is minimal research into families where a person who is receiving specialist palliative care has dependent children. The studies that have been undertaken show that the life-threatening illness of a parent has a major impact on family life both emotionally and physically, and particularly for children who rely on their parents for their physical and emotional support. There is also a lack of information about the work that palliative care social workers undertake with such families. More information on the research Comben C (2010) Swamp territory: The role of the palliative care social worker in safeguarding children of adults who are receiving specialist palliative care, Stirling: University of Stirling (see attached file).

Aberlour Glasgow Bridges service | The Aberlour Glasgow Bridges service was set up in Possilpark in North East Glasgow in June 2008, with initial funding for three years. It works with families affected by parental substance misuse. The aim of the service was to develop and deliver interventions with children and parents to improve children's educational, health and well-being outcomes. The service is still in operation, at least until September 2012, with continued funding from Inspiring Scotland Early Years monies, with a slightly different remit.

Care and permanence planning for looked after children in Scotland | Gillian Henderson and Malcolm Schaffer from the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration (SCRA) talk about recent research into the care and permanence planning for looked after children in Scotland. Working to fill a gap in evidence and to inform changes in policy and law through the Scottish Government's Looked After Children Strategic Implementation Group, the SCRA research team analysed the content of both SCRA and court records to map decision-making, placements and time taken to permanence for 100 children. Care planning processes were found to be the main reason for delay in decision-making, rather than court processes as anecdotal accounts suggest. Significant periods of time passed for children from the point that they were first involved with services to when an Adoption Order or a Parental Responsibility Order was made: among the 100 cases reviewed the shortest period was 12 and a half months and the longest 10 years and 10 months. Over the course of that time, children experienced many moves and many placements. As a result of the findings, the researchers recommend a need for improving: the quality and timeliness of decisions on permanency and their implementation in the care system; decision making in SCRA and Children's Hearings; communication mechanisms between local authorities, SCRA and the courts; and on the operation of curators ad litem and Reporting officers in the court process. Improving knowledge of attachment and its significance to child development is highlighted as critical to informing decisions about the timing and timeliness of achieving permanence for children.

'A RIGHT blether' with Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People (Part 1) | Katie Brown shares her experiences of being involved in developing and delivering a large-scale programme of participative consultation with children and young people from across Scotland. 'A RIGHT blether' created an opportunity for children and young people to share their opinions and experiences, to say what's important to them, and to inform the work of the Commissioner. In this clip, Katie tells us about the focus, creativity, challenges (including the extensive flurry of snow experienced across Scotland at the peak of consultation activity!) and excitement involved in such a large scale consultation. Designed to raise awareness and understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), as well as the role of the Commissioner, and to create opportunities for children and young people’s voices to be heard (in line with Article 12 of the UNCRC), 'A RIGHT blether' culminated in a vote by 74,059 children and young people on what issues they thought the Commissioner should focus on.

The rights and status of children of prisoners in Scotland | Nico Juetten discusses the findings of work undertaken to explore the rights and status of the children of prisoners in Scotland. Not seen, not heard, not guilty: Review 2011 reports on a review of progress since a previous research report was published in 2008. Drawing on desk-based research and a collation of information from relevant agencies and organisations with a perspective on the effcets of parental imprisonment, the more recent review grouped the original 28 recommendations into four themes - the rights of children in criminal justice debates; the rights and status of children in decision-making about parents who offend; support for children of prisoners; and contact and visiting during parental imprisonment – which Nico talks about briefly here. Substantial progress has been made since 2008 but it is variable and patchy. It is widely recognised parental imprisonment and its impact on children is a legitimate and valid issue to take into account. However, the review also found that there remain considerable challenges in changing practice and organisational cultures, and that while every organisation and institution addressed in this review can, and must make progress for the children of offenders, it is clear that coordintated work needs to be undertaken as no one agency can tackle the multi-faceted issues facing this sizeable and often vulnerable group. Nico outlines aspects of policy, procedure and practice that could be changed to improve the experiences of children and young people whose parents are involved with the criminal justice system, such as considering the 'best interests of the child' when sentencing options are being considered and the importance of prioritising 'bonding' visits as the right of a child rather than considering them a priviledge of prisioner.

Understanding child trafficking and the challenges for practice | In this clip, Paul Rigby talks about some recent work undertaken in Glasgow focused on the issue of child trafficking. Drawing on three reports, he highlights learning about the incidence in child trafficking among the population of 500 unaccompanied children referred to Glasgow social work, themes emerging from a study of professionals' experiences of working, and the findings of a more recent piece of work, due to be published, exploring the use of National Referral Mechanism. He highlights the importance of locating work with children and young people who may have been trafficked within child protection procedures and practice. As trafficking transcends borders, he identifies a need for more international liaison as part of case enquiries and assessment of risks for children and young people. Learning from practice indicates a need to ensure that a multi-agency group is involved in make decisions about referral into the National Referral Mechanism, and that procedures are put in place to ensure that children are identifiable to agencies should they disappear and come into contact with agencies at a later stage.

Theories of judgement are applied to help understand the processes though which practitioners make sense of information in assessments. In particular the presentation focuses on the nature of judgements made under pressures of time and conditions of uncertainty. Frameworks for practice are considered and contemporary literature is explored to identify what helps and what hinders accurate, empathetic assessments of risk and need in child welfare and protection. | 6/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Longitudinal research seminar - Marian Brandon | Longitudinal research seminar took place The Scottish Universities Insight Institute, Glasgow, on the 20th and 21st of April 2011. The intention was to identify the core constituents of a robust longitudinal design that would be fit for the evaluation of the efficacy of everyday professional intervention aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable children. The intention was also to explore the type and range of data that is required to capture fundamental aspects of everyday multi-professional intervention and child well-being. On the basis of this we identify the most appropriate measures to capture intervention and child well-being and develop a robust analytical package for capturing outcomes over the short, medium and longer term.

The intention was to identify the core constituents of a robust longitudinal design that would be fit for the evaluation of the efficacy of everyday professional intervention aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable children. The intention was also to explore the type and range of data that is required to capture fundamental aspects of everyday multi-professional intervention and child well-being. On the basis of this we identify the most appropriate measures to capture intervention and child well-being and develop a robust analytical package for capturing outcomes over the short, medium and longer term.

User views of punishment | Beth Weaver is lecturer at the Glasgow School of Social Work, University of Strathclyde. Here she talks about research she has been working on with Sarah Armstrong (University of Glasgow) entitled 'What the punished think of their punishment'. The research involved speaking with 35 men and women ranging in age from 19 to 55 about their experiences of punishment. The aim was to accurately describe the experience for offenders of doing a short sentence, in prison or the community. Here Beth talks about the key findings from the research and the implications for policy and practice. The research being discussed is available to download here: http://www.sccjr.ac.uk/pubs/What-Do-the-Punished-Think-of-Punishment-The-comparative-experience-of-short-term-prison-sentences-and-communitybased-punishments/284, and has been awarded a prize from the Howard League for Penal Reform. | 6/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Young runaways | Fiona Mitchell is the co-ordinator for the Scottish Child Care and Protection Network (http://www.sccpn.stir.ac.uk/). In this clip she talks about an evaluation to explore the most effective ways of delivering Return Home Welfare Interviews (RHWI) for young runaways, which Fiona was involve in along with Margaret Malloch and Cheryl Burgess (University of Stirling) and Vanessa Chan, Jane Eunson, Lorraine Murray (IPSOS Mori Scotland). The evaluation focused solely on the role of the police in delivering RHWIs so is unable to draw comparisons with delivery by other agencies. The evaluation looked at the operation of a pilot as implemented by Grampian police force in Aberdeen City and Elgin, and one area in Aberdeenshire (Fraserburgh) formed the control area for comparison with original practice in Grampian and current practice outwith the pilot areas.The principal conclusion of the evaluation is that RHWIs are an appropriate intervention; helping identify young people who require further support and referring them to an appropriate agency. Even without an onward referral, they can improve outcomes by helping young people appreciate the value of talking about their problems rather than running away. RHWIs may be of most benefit to young people not already involved with services (just under a third of those who received a RHWI during the pilot period were not already involved with social work services). When young people were already accessing other services, other professionals were less convinced of the benefits of the RHWI. However, as the evaluation highlights, even where other services were in place, the RHWIs could provide benefits by obtaining information from young people which was not already known to services; and by providing the young person with an additional opportunity to engage and to access support by doing so. RWHIs, alongside appropriate responses by other agencies, have the potential to ensure that services meet the needs of some young runaways.
