New research into long-term effects of child abduction
A research project to consider the long-term effects of child abduction is being undertaken at the Centre for Family Law and Practice (CFLP) at London Metropolitan University by Professor Marilyn Freeman, who has conducted extensive research in the area of child abduction over many years. The project will analyse data from research samples of adults and young persons based mainly in the United Kingdom and the United States who were abducted as children.
The CFLP wishes to hear from any adults or young persons who were abducted as children and who may wish to participate in this research.
We are also interested in hearing from those who have represented people involved in child abduction cases which may fall within the remit of our research, and who still have contact with those people. We understand completely any reservations you may have regarding confidentiality, so we assure you that we do not seek names or contact details of any of the parties involved in any of the cases you have dealt with. We will send you an information pack containing a consent form, a stamped addressed envelope, and a letter providing further information about the research, which you may then pass on to the parties involved.
If you wish to take part in this project, or you are willing to provide any information which may assist with the research, please e-mail Marilyn Freeman (m.freeman@londonmet.ac.uk) or call the Centre for Family Law and Practice on 020 7320 1197.
