Description

Parents with a learning disability face a high risk of losing their children, and current support for them is inadequate. This book, based on original research, looks into current social care practice and the support systems available to parents with learning disabilities, evaluating their effectiveness and examining their impact on the families affected.This book will aid understanding of how to effectively assess children in families where one or more parent has a learning disability without sidelining them in the process. The authors present many case studies and point out perceived shortcomings, along with suggestions to improve current social care practice and promote the welfare of children in need.This will prove to be an invaluable source of information for all social workers and other professionals working with someone who is both a parent and has a learning disability.
