Case Scenario 1 The family: Laura (33)

Case Scenario 1 The family: Laura (33) is a single mother of five boys. Laura’s ex-partner Ebrahim is the father of the oldest four boys, Saeed (16), Adam (13), Rashid (11), and Javid (9) and ex-partner Gary is the father of the youngest child, Ed (6) At the point of referral to Family & Community Services, the main concerns with the family were the high levels of anti-social behaviourexhibited by the mother and the 3 older boys. The family have been living in public housing and given a housing caution and were at risk of eviction. Laura is currently unemployed receiving support formCenterLink and dependent on alcohol, smoking cigarretes and amphetamines, which affected her ability to parent the children properly and meet their needs. She’d made allegations of domestic violence against both her previous partners Ebrahim and Gary, but no criminal charges have ever been laid. The family were resistant to working with agencies -reports from agencies that had worked with the family in the past reported that both fathers had very limited input or interest in parenting the children. An Assessment order was filed with the Children’s Court to assess the following: a child or young person’s physical, psychological, psychiatric or other medical need a person’s capacity for parental responsibility. During the most recent interviews with the family it was noted that Saeed’s attendance at school was at 0 per cent, the other children’s attendance was low and all of the 5 children displayed challenging behavioural issues. The children became subject to interim care orders, which means they could be removed from their family and placed in foster care at any time, due to mounting evidence of lack of parenting and care. Community service Activity with the family Intervention with the family included immediate activity designed to make an impact like help with practical tasks in the home such as cleaning, replacing broken furniture and washing clothes. This helped the family develop motivation, skills and a routine in the household. The community service agency looked closely at the role the fathers could play in their children’s lives, and revisited previous assumptions that had been made about their parenting. They built up trust and strong relationships with the fathers, for example by ensuring visits from the agency fitted around Gary’s working hours. They worked with the children’s schools to address and manage the impact that Laura’s emotional state had on the children and helped Laura get help with her alcohol and drug problems with rehabilitation at a local Addiction Unit. Ebrahim obtained a parent responsibility contract for Saeed, Adam, Rashid and Javid which meant the court decided they could now live with him rather than in local authority care, and they are settling in well. They are now no longer subject to interim care orders. Their attendance and behaviour at school has improved. Saeed, who was not in education, employment or training is now attending vocational training at a local College of Building and is progressing well. There are no concerns regarding anti-social behaviour or offending. Gary obtained a parent responsibility contract for Ed, and he has settled in well and has been described as more secure and happy in school. Gary is getting the help he needs as a single parent from the relevant community service agencies to support him in acquiring suitable housing and parenting advice.
