Episode 1 featuring Dr. Beverley Barnett-Jones, Associate Director for System and Impact at the Nuffield Justice Observatory. This episode will introduce you to the podcast hosts, Matt Clayton and Hannah Bedford, and explore how to create hope and support change with families, recognising the struggles which families face, balancing when the state needs to intervene in the lives of children, young people and families, considering the stress which state intervention can cause for families, balancing this with the need to safeguard children and young people from significant harm, and considering how to support those families who do require children’s social care involvement to feel safe, enabling social workers to effectively work ‘with’ families.
