Aim:
What are the frontline practitioners’ experiences of increasing Care Orders at home?
Objectives:
1. To draw from statistical data of partnership authorities to emphasise the extent of the problem faced;
2. To explore with frontline social workers and team managers their experiences of Care Orders at home, including: challenges; fears/anxieties;
3. To give frontline practitioners ‘a voice’ in regards to this research area, by embedding their testimonies within the research findings;
4. To produce and publish findings that can serve as a platform to challenge this ‘troubling tendency’.
