Learning from Research: 'I lived for those mornings'; parents' experiences of visiting their children in care
29 January 2026 | 11.30am - 1.00pm | Online
Polly Baynes' research with 10 mothers and fathers (half of whom had learning disabilities) explored their experiences of keeping in touch with children who were no longer in their care, using photographs and interviews. Contact provided an important but limited opportunity to express a continued sense of parental responsibility. Parents used familiar food, toys and children’s belongings to maintain connections to their past shared life with the child and as expressions of loving care across the boundaries of placement and into the future.
