‘Mutual Expectations’ is a charter to promote effective, mutually respectful partnership working between practitioners and families when children are subject to statutory intervention.
The principles of the charter are in accordance with the Code of Ethics of Social Work BASW.
The charter was developed by parents (including mothers, fathers and kinship carers) and practitioners- for parents, practitioners and partner agencies. ‘Parents’ as used in the Charter means parents, any other people with parental responsibility for the child or who care for them, including kinship carers.
We would like to thank LankellyChase Foundation for funding this work and all involved for their time, expertise and goodwill in developing this Charter.
