Setting out how services and systems should support women involved with children’s social care from conception to their child’s second birthday
The Birth Charter for women with involvement from children's social care sets out how services and systems in England should support all women involved with children’s social care from conception to their child’s second birthday - the period known as the '1001 critical days'.
In this publication, we outline 14 principles to help protect women’s rights to safe, fair and compassionate care, and call for a national health and social care pathway for pregnant women and mothers of infants who are subject to pre-birth or parenting assessment, or child protection proceedings.
