Answering Back: Parental Perspectives on the Children's Hearings System

Summary

The potential of client evaluation is explored through a case study of the parental response to the children's hearings system. In particular, drawing upon a tradition which has sought to identify the ideologies of different participants, a number of elements which contribute to individual ideology are specified. It is shown that for many parents the pattern is not of a consistent ideology but of a multiplicity of beliefs, invoked as required and not necessarily coherent. Previous assertions that parents will respond only to a system based on principles of justice are shown to be misplaced.
