This approach focused on the use of semi-structured in-depth interviews to ‘give voice’ to the individuals and families concerned and relate their experience from the initial positive diagnosis, to life, and in some cases death, with HIV/AIDS.

Working with cases of child neglect in the North Eastern Health Board<br/><br/>Authors: Horwath, Jan; North Eastern Health Board (NEHB)<br/><br/>Description: Child neglect constitutes more than half of thecases reported to the NEHB Community Carechild care social work service each year. Neglectis perceived, therefore, to be prevalent in thecommunity and it affects a significant numb er of children.Cases of neglect raise assessment issues that areoften more complex than cases of physical orsexual abuse. Often, there is no specific incidentbecause child neglect usually raises issues ofongoing concern regarding the capacity of theparents to meet the needs of their children. Inaddition, practitioners struggle to workeffectively with families with these entrenchedproblems.The new national guidance, Children First,published by the Department of Health andChildren emphasises the importance of workingwith these families to protect childre n fromharm and promote their welfare. If the guidanceis to be implemented effecti vely, the NEHBneeds to ensure that its curre nt child protectionsystem lends itself to working with cases ofchild neglect in ways that reinforce theprinciples underpinning Children First, whilerecognising local need and circumstances. TheNEHB is kee n to take a strategic approach topractice deve lopments to ensure they meet then eeds of the local population.In ord e r to achieve this, the Board wanted toobtain information regarding current practicein cases of child neglect. The aim was , first, toconsider the implication of Children First forlocal policy and practice and, secondly, toobtain information to inform r ourceplanning. A study was commissioned from JanHorwath, Senior Lecturer in Social WorkStudies at The University of Sheffield. Thpurpose was to attempt to identify factors that influence decision-makinginfluence decision-making and determinethreshold criteria at critical stages of the childprotection process in cases of child neglect.
