New paper published: Birth Parents and the Collateral Consequences of Court-ordered Child Removal: Towards a Comprehensive Framework
Professor Karen Broadhurst and Claire Mason, from the Centre for Child and Family Justice Research at Lancaster University, have a new article in the April 2017 edition of the International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family. The paper“…aims to capture the full range of consequences that birth parents face, following court-ordered removal of their children on account of child protection concerns. With references to legislative and policy responses in England, the USA, and Australia, [the authors] argue that states reinforce parents’ exclusion, where the full gamut of challenges these parents face is poorly understood.”
