Critical evaluation of evidence and research findings in the area of Child Protection, in respect of enhancing the participation of children and young people in decision-making and developing care services In this essay, I will critically examine the practice of service user participation in the area of Child Protection.

I will also apply social work theories, evidence from research findings and evidence from my own practice to explore the effectiveness of service user participation in developing social care services.

Throughout the assignment I will attempt to provide evidence that suggests that attachment based interventions help allow for a greater understanding, sensitive response and more effective use of practitioners skills (Kennedy and Kennedy 2004) Winnicott (1967) both placed great emphasis on “holding the child” to help the child feel secure, allowing the child autonomy at their own pace.
