MRC- Enhancing Learning For The Future: A Document Analysis Of Serious Child Safeguarding Case Reviews With Romani And Traveller Communities In England

This webinar explores the findings of a critical social research study that examines historically specific structures within child welfare services. Drawing on document analysis of 13 serious case reviews concerning the death or serious injury of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children in England, the session reveals how ideology, fear, and helplessness have historically shaped the responses of child protection systems.

Participants will gain insight into both the strengths and weaknesses of policy, procedure, and practice, and learn practical lessons for safeguarding Gypsy Roma and Traveller children, families, and communities.
