The welfare of the child in the context of private family law proceedings is of significant international interest. This paper presents findings from an ethnographic study of private law proceedings in England, which explored legal professionals' experiences of and practice within space and place. Data are derived from interviews with professionals, and observations from the waiting areas, canteens, interview rooms and offices of lawyers who represent parents in private family law proceedings. The paper focuses on winners and losers in the area of private family law, and the 'trophy', the child, who appears to be lost in the battleground of legal proceedings, but remains the ultimate prize. The concept of space is explored before moving to reflect upon the data from the interviews. The themes that emerge from the data are the relationships between the public space of the court and the vulnerability of the parties as they attempt with greater or less ease, to navigate the complexities of this formal and procedurally driven space. This paper explores the idea of the child as the ultimate 'trophy' within private law proceedings to consider its significance for family justice practice in England, and to elicit a greater understanding of the importance of space and place in private law proceedings that have remained largely unexplored.

AbstractIn 2017, the number of applications for care orders in England and Wales was the highest ever recorded at 14,207. This is a significant factor, contributing to the rise in the number of children who are looked after, which is at the highest level since 1985.The authors reflect on the recently published Care Crisis Review 2018, a sector‐led review, which examines the reasons for the rise in care proceedings and the number of children in care. The review sought to identify changes to policy and practice within local authorities and the family justice system, in an attempt to divert cases away from the family courts and to reduce the number of children in care, where it is safe to do so.Whilst the legislative framework is largely effective and the system generally works well, there is insufficient funding and resources to meet the needs of children and their families when they seek help, regardless of whether this is at an early stage or when they are in crisis and most in need of care and protection.

AbstractIn a climate of austerity, timescales and targets, this paper probes whether parents matter sufficiently within the current child protection system in England. Evidence suggests that achieving partnership working in the context of child protection has become increasingly illusive, particularly when parents are notified that the local authority is considering compulsory intervention to remove their children under the Children Act 1989. Recent changes to legislation, policy and practice ushered in with the aim of achieving earlier decisions within the time frame for the child are laudable, but there are consequences for both children and their parents. The aspirations of the Public Law Outline (2008) are well rehearsed, but the changes being introduced with the recent reform of the family justice system, alongside particular constructions of parenting, may be failing to recognize the potential of many parents, if offered appropriate support, to care safely for their children.

Under the Criminal Justice Act (2003), Alcohol Treatment Requirements (ATRs) are now available and can be dispensed as part of a community sentence. ATRs deliver coercive treatment to predominantly 'dependent' drinkers specifically aiming to tackle levels of alcohol consumption and reduce alcohol related crime. Data gathered from probation records and treatment files for 81 offenders sentenced to treatment were analysed exploring offender characteristics, outcomes and impact. The analysis shows that those deemed 'suitable' and consequently sentenced for the ATR were primarily 'white British' males who had committed crimes related to 'violence against the person'. Progression through treatment on the ATR is encouraging with a 70 per cent completion rate and positive outcomes with regard to levels of alcohol consumption. While re-offending rates were also low these should be viewed with caution as the time lapse between intervention and impact assessment was short.
Das Verständnis von Forschung innerhalb eines postmodernen Rahmens eröffnet eine Arena, in der Subjektivität vorausgesetzt und geschätzt wird. Es wird möglich, sich damit zu beschäftigen, wie Subjektivität (von Forschenden und Forschungsteilnehmenden) und Intersubjektivität (zwischen/unter Forschenden und zwischen Forschenden und Teilnehmenden) den Forschungsprozess anreichern kann. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir ein solches Modell: das Verständnis von qualitativer Forschung als einer verbundenen und sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden Folge von dialogischen Prozessen. Ein dialogisches Modell ermöglicht es, jeden wesentlichen Aspekt eines Forschungsprogramms daraufhin zu betrachten, dass ihm – was wir für wünschenswert erachten – das Entstehen synergistischer Kommunikation zwischen den Teilnehmenden innewohnt. Da dieser Ansatz sich auf die Ideen dialogischer Kommunikation stützt, geht er per se von der Reflexivität einer jeden kommunizierenden Person, also jeder/jedes einzelnen Forschenden und jeder/jedes einzelnen Teilnehmenden, aus. Ebenfalls verdeutlicht wird der reflexive Wert, der erwächst, wenn Forschung in einem Forschungsteam durchgeführt wird, und die Rolle von Reflexivität wird für jeden Schritt der Forschungsbemühungen untersucht: angefangen von der Formulierung der Fragestellung, über die Informationssammlung und das Analysieren von Informationen bis hin zur Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Forschenden und der "Rückgabe" der Forschungserträge an die Teilnehmenden. Wir diskutieren die Zentralität von Reflexivität für jeden dieser Schritte, verdeutlicht an eigenen Forschungsbeispielen und an den Erfahrungen anderer Forschender.

Injuries are a major worldwide contributor to morbidity and mortality. The negative impact caused by such injuries is disproportionately heavy in developing countries. Such disparities are caused by a complex array of problems, including a lack of physical resources, poor infrastructure, and a shortage of trained health professionals. Overcoming such deficits in care will require the involvement of organizations that can offer broad-based solutions. These organizations must bridge the gap between private and public institutions to establish a systems-based approach to program development and institution-building. They must provide not just an adequate level of care, but a transfer of knowledge that leads to sustainable and cost-effective intervention. Orthopedics Overseas is an example of such an organization. We examine the development of Orthopedics Overseas and describe their interventions in Uganda as a case-study to show the unique position they have to affect change.

This paper examines the issue of professional advocacy for parents in England following the local authority issuing the Letter Before Proceedings when the concerns about the welfare of a child are so serious the local authority are considering applying for a care order. We explore the tensions of providing a legal advocacy service for parents - drawing on a study of 57 cases, scrutinised as part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Cafcass Pre-Proceedings Pilot (Broadhurst et al. 2012) and explores the contribution of legal representation for parents. The pre-proceedings meeting can be pivotal in terms of the direction of the case, the impression created at the meeting, and the action parties take afterwards. The importance of advocacy for parents was highlighted in the study both to facilitate parents' understanding of the issues, and to afford a level of protection of their rights. It is noteworthy that in 16 out of 82 pre-proceedings meetings no advocate was present, and in general fathers were less likely to be represented (although as reported the exact pattern appears more complex). Where advocates were present, contributions to the pre proceedings meeting varied from no input, to seeking points of clarification, and in 4 cases there was evidence of active 'brokering' on behalf of their clients. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
