Pregnancy and early motherhood in the criminal justice system: BASW England Criminal Justice Group event

This event, hosted by the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) England Criminal Justice Group, explored the impact of women’s dual contact with the criminal justice system and children’s social care while pregnant or in the first two years of their child’s life.

Birth Companions' Head of Policy and Communications, Kirsty Kitchen, spoke about our recent work spotlighting the intersections between these systems, and our new Birth Charter for women with involvement from children’s social care.
