Summary of the Para 1.17 To promote social inclusion for the
purposes of the charity public benefit by preventing people
as set out in its from becoming socially excluded,
governing document
relieving the needs of those people
who are socially excluded and
assisting them to integrate into
society. For the purpose of this
clause ‘socially excluded’ means
being excluded from society, or
parts of society, as a result of
having your child removed (or who
is at risk of becoming pregnant and
their child/ren removed from their
care).
Mothers and fathers who have a
child removed from their care are
socially excluded due to the impact
this process has on their mental
health, health, the stigma they
experience, substance use,
involvement with the crimilar
justice system, poor educational
attainment/unemployment and
disadvantage that can follow from
the above. This particular group of
parents are also socially excluded
as a result of a number of factors
that precede their involvement in
care proceedings, including: having
been a young person in care,
mental health difficulties, learning
disabilities, substance use, poor
educational attainment, and
disadvantage arising from
contextual issues (e.g. financial
hardship, poverty, family

breakdown, poor housing, being a
victim of crime, socio-economic
status and discrimination on the
grounds of youth, class, sex, race,
ethnic origin, sexual orientation).
We aim to do this by:
1. Supporting this group of
parents to participate in the
wider community by
providing opportunities for
connection with others with
whom they have shared
experiences, providing
opportunities for co-
produced activities, while
providing holistic support to
assist their participation.
2. Alleviating the distress
caused by parent’s previous
experiences of social
exclusion, and providing on-
going support for parents
who are managing the
trauma and loss of having a
child removed from their
care, and the further social
exclusion that this brings.
3. Raising awareness
among professionals who
work with this particular
group of parents as well as
the wider health network by
highlighting their
experiences of social
exclusion and the challenges
that result from this.
4. Raising public
awareness of the needs and
experiences of this particular
group of parents in relation
to their social exclusion and
experiences by highlighting
the context of their
experience, stigma and
discrimination they
experiences which impacts
on their ability to integrate
into society.
5. Contributing to and
furthering the knowledge
base in relation to this area
