Black, Asian and other racially minoritised women’s experiences of the family justice system

This report provides an overview of the insights gathered through discussions held in July 2022 with members of Birth Companions' Lived Experience Team, all of whom had experienced involvement from children’s social services.

The conversations focused on developing an understanding of the ways in which Black, Asian and other racially minoritised women experienced children’s social services involvement during pregnancy and the early postnatal period.

This engagement work was undertaken for the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory.
