Case study 4
Aisha Nanko aged 4.
Aisha is currently the subject of an Interim Care Order,
as a result of concerns that her parents, who both have
long-standing mental health difficulties, have neglected
her.
Aisha has been looked after for short periods on a voluntary
basis on five different occasions. Three of these periods
of accommodation were on an emergency basis. The local authority
believes that Aisha requires greater stability and is seeking
a Care Order with a view to adoption. This plan is opposed
by her parents.
Contact is a major issue in this case. Visits take place
four times a week and are supervised. Two of the contact
sessions take place in your home and are supervised by you.
1 What written information should you be provided with
when Aisha is placed with you?
2 What records would you make and keep for Aisha?
