Summary
This article explores the experiences of families within the Troubled Families
Programme in responding to professional concerns about the condition and
maintenance of the family home.
Drawing upon care ethicists’ development of
relational autonomy perspectives, neoliberal assumptions about personal agency and
responsibility are challenged, and the complexity of the constraints upon families
highlighted.
Within this framework, family interventions can be repositioned, not as an
intrusive form of domestic surveillance levied at working class women, but as an
opportunity to support families (and especially mothers) to overcome oppressive
conditions which constrain their capacity to act.
