More DescriptionThe focus of this report is family support. The report is one part of a programme of studies that investigate the implementation of key changes introduced by the Children Act 1989 and evaluate the facilitators and inhibitors to the meeting of key objectives. It describes the circumstances and problems of 93 children in need and their families when they came face to face with social workers in seven local authorities. The families' initial reservations and final evaluation of the services they had, or had not, received is presented. This study also highlights the lack of services to support children in their middle years, especially those with emotional and behavioural problems. The findings demonstrate the overlapping nature of social deprivation, parental ill health, parenting problems and children's needs.
