Rules for the Production and Submission of Coursework

Rules for the Production and Submission of Coursework
‘In theory the threshold criteria limit the State’s ability to intervene in family life and requires the conditions set out in s.31 (2)(i) and (ii) Children Act 1989 to be satisfied before a child may be removed from their family. In practice the threshold criteria fail to achieve the aim of limiting the State’s ability to intervene in the family and do not prevent excessive numbers of children being inappropriately removed from their home.’
