Aims and Objectives
The aim of this study was to bring together key research evidence to facilitate understanding among professionals working in the family justice system in the following areas:
• Neuroscience perspectives on children's cognitive, social and emotional development.
• The implications of maltreatment on childhood and adulthood wellbeing.
• Evidence on the outcomes of intervention by the courts and children's social care.
• Timeframes for intervening and how they fit (or don't) with those for children.
