The Serial Removal of Children from Young Mothers – is this right?

The Serial Removal of Children from Young Mothers – is this right?

On 3rd December 2012 the Family Justice Council met for its 6th annual debate, held at Central Hall, Westminster. It was chaired by Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Thorpe, the then Deputy Chair of the Family Justice Council. This was an especially important debate, coming as it did at a time when reforms of the family court system were being formulated, because it touched on a subject that simply is not addressed by the reformers or anywhere else in the Child Protection system. The Council met to debate this motion: Women who have children removed to care, year after year, are being failed by a system unable to respond to them as vulnerable adults needing support in their own right". A transcript of the debate is here.
