Who can help us?

You can help if you are a  special guardian or adoptive parent with recent experience of a statutory safeguarding intervention from children’s social care for your child (child protection or child in need plan, voluntary accommodation or taken into Care); with no ongoing investigation

What can you help with?

We would love to hear your story. You can tell us in a confidential, online/telephone chat (interview) between you and Christine (the researcher). You will receive a voucher for taking part

Why is this important?

Many children experienced some form of neglect and/or abuse prior to SGO/adoption and their new families are likely to need support to help them

We would like to know if you needed support and/or what led to a statutory safeguarding intervention from children’s social care for your child
