I had a great time at my first international conference in Portugal 🇵🇹 @EuroPublicHealth! It was a great experience seeing my e-poster showcased, engaging in insightful thematic sessions, and being back in Lisbon after 5 years ✨. Looking forward to what’s next! #EPH2024#UCARE

Drawing on postulation from social disorganization theory and the social exchange model, we conceptualized, measured, and examined influence as a unique social process factor in neighborhoods within the context of child maltreatment.

Our new publication towards understanding what goes into assessing child maintenance cases. Most cases handled by social workers in Ghana relate to child maintenance, so this is an important contribution towards developing an agreed upon assessment framework. @ChildStds_Essex
@ChildStds_Essex @PPS_Essex Enjoyed the content. Interesting to learn about how banter intersects ridicule, teasing, bullying, power relations etc. As well as being a source of bonding and friendship. So much to take away to inform work on peer relationships.
Our new publication reveals that families with child maintenance issues grapple with other child protection concerns which risk being ignored by social workers @ChildStds_Essex https://t.co/a95YD74nsv

Happy to share our new article focusing on the complex situations faced by families who turn to social workers on concerns of child maintenance (also known as child support).

Have a good read of our editorial for Part 1 of our recent special issue on child welfare in Africa. Some interesting articles on improving outcomes for children in a variety of contexts from different parts of Africa @ChildStds_Essex @PPS_Essex
Our recent research on child labour in Ghana published!! This publication focuses on norms that could reinforce and legitimise child labour activities @PPS_Essex @ChildStds_Essex
Our latest research article focuses on pathways for the intergenerational transmission of child labour and opportunities to break the cycle of transmission. Findings are informed by narratives from children who have been involved in labour activities.

Today is the last day at the @EuSARF2023 conference in Brighton. I had my presentation yesterday on kinship support for children whose parents have mental illnesses. Many interesting projects talked about and learnt a lot to take forward. @PPS_Essex @ChildStds_Essex
