Situate Psychologists in Local Authority Children's Social Care Teams.

Petition Details

The Government should fund psychological consultation and advisory teams within Children Services to guide practice where parents struggle to manage challenging behaviour, due to past adversity & trauma. This could ensure interventions are applied correctly without any blame and shame.

Additional Information

We believe that parents and carers who ask for support can feel punished for not managing challenging behaviour. We believe that our voices, views and experiences are discredited and the crisis continues.

We believe rooted social work practice doesn't fit every family. Psychological oversight could ensure critical alignment with central focus in the child's history, current circumstances and through a therapeutic, trauma expert lens. This could specifically benefit families created through adoption, Special Guardian Orders, Kinship care and other families where Adverse Childhood Experiences, are a key element, (including in utero).
