A survey produced by the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory is hoping to gather information from parents and relatives who have experienced supervision orders in England and Wales.
Supervision orders, which must be applied for through the family courts, give local authorities the power to monitor a child’s needs and progress, and should involve social workers offering the family as a whole all the help and support they need.
It’s important to add that a supervision order doesn’t give local authorities parental responsibility over children and doesn’t give them the right to remove children from parents. Parents always keep their parental responsibility during the life of a supervision order.
The research project is being carried out on behalf of the President of the Family Division’s Public Law Working Group.
The Observatory is looking specifically into cases where the supervision order was made with regard to at least one child, and as a standalone action without any other connecting orders.
The organisation would like to hear from parents and family members who have been involved in care proceedings in the last six years where a supervision order was made and who are happy to fill out the survey.
Families can also register to take part in a focus group or interview about supervision orders, and can do so by contacting Judith Harwin (j.e.harwin@lancaster.ac.uk) or Lily Golding (l.f.golding@lancaster.ac.uk; 07511 555990) at Lancaster University.
The survey, which can be accessed here, runs until 8 March 2021.
Researching Reform 
Now how many families got that opportunity to even be offered a supervision order??
Nope,it costs money for the government so it’s easier to take your children and get a placement order for adoption,and the puppet of a family court judge goes along with it.
Thats how we get treated,especially the children that want answers when they growup knowing they were adopted for stupid crystal ball methods from social services,guardian,etc..all a bunch of evil jokes that rip families apart.

These attempts by organisations to investigate, this or that, regarding Children’s social services is all just whitewash. The only avenue that needs attention is the complete and final cancellation of the whole process. It needs someone other than those commenting, to have the guts to say the system is corrupt. Social workers should be charged and jailed if found guilty of not following legal procedures.

They say “Supervision orders, which must be applied for through the family courts, give local authorities the power to monitor a child’s needs and progress, and should involve social workers offering the family as a whole all the help and support they need.”
Has anyone EVER heard of a social worker offering a family “the help and support they need” ??
I am only askng………………….

Nope,they didn’t care to offer us anything,they said it wouldn’t be in “the children’s best interest” don’t know how because we as grandparents haven’t got anything on us apart from social services “Crystal ball” methods.

No, never heard of anyone being offered help by the SS.
i think we all know they are more interested in how they can dismantle a family rather than keep them together.
with Inter-agency adoption fees paid to councils by the Govt starting at £27000 for one child its obvious widespread corruption would creep in. all we are waiting for is for the Scam to be exposed on mainstream media. then Councils and social workers can be prosecuted.

Yes i agree, you never give up mentally but you eventually give fighting the system as its pretty obvious its rigged against parents which produces a Win rate of around 95% for the SS. you can only take so much stress anxiety and high blood pressure before you have to stop to protect your health.
i know that sounds like you are giving up the fight for your kids and makes you look like a coward but to continue would cause serious mental health problems and even suicide in some cases. i want to live to see my kids again even if its many years in the future.
