The Institute of Public Care (IPC) at Oxford Brookes University has been commissioned by Nuffield Family Justice Observatory to undertake a study to explore the prevalence and experience of parents with learning disabilities or difficulties involved in care proceedings concerning their babies in England. It will work in partnership with an award-winning expert by experience organisation, My Life My Choice, and with five local authority sites to co-produce a mixed-method study involving case file sampling, interviews with parents, and interviews with professionals frequently involved in care proceedings, from social workers and support workers to lawyers and judges.
