Abstract

This is the first in a series of research reports on the effectiveness of Compulsory Supervision Orders where the child remains at home with their parent(s) (home CSOs). Home CSOs are the most common type of CSO made by Children’s Hearings, accounting for 45% of all CSOs in 2018, which is 4,270 children and young people. There is very little information on if and how home CSOs are being used to specify who a child or young person should live with and/or regulate their contact with individuals who are risk to them. We aimed to answer two questions: 1) To what extent are home CSOs being used to restrict contact with a parent or other person(s) who presents a risk to the child? 2) To what extent are home CSOs being used to secure residence with fathers? The research went wider than these aims including the use of contact conditions for children looked after away from home, other conditions in CSOs, and length of CSOs. The research was in two parts: a) Analysis of Hearings decisions and CSOs for 343 children and young people’s when CSO first made, after a year, and after two years – for three groups of young people with home CSOs (i.e. 1. young people with offence grounds, 2. young people with education non-attendance grounds, 3. young people with grounds not related to offending or non-attendance) and two groups of children under 3 years old (i.e. 1. with home CSO; 2. with CSO away from home). b) The perspectives of social workers, Children’s Panel Members and Children’s Reporters. This involved 14 focus groups with a total of 78 participants.
