|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To promote social inclusion for the
public benefit by preventing people from
becoming socially excluded, 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 by
conducting research projects to
inform ‘the development of
preventative and early
intervention projects to support
this particular group of parents,
and to inform and support the
awareness-raising activities in 3
and 4.|
