| Summary |
Some research suggests parents with intellectual disabilities are over represented in child protection cases.Susan finds it hard to multitask: she struggles to cook a meal and keep an eye on her toddler at the same time. She says she also finds it hard to make judgements when things aren't black and white. Any 'grey' areas can be hard. It breaks her heart that she no longer has guardianship of her child. But she says that it's for the best. This week on Insight, a difficult conversation about how an intellectual disability may affect a parent's capacity to raise a child. We hear from parents and their children about what life is like at home. And we hear from child protection workers about the delicate process of making painstaking assessments and decisions about a parent's abilities.
