Spotlight: Dual contact:  Understanding the needs and experiences of women in contact with the criminal justice and children’s social care systems during pregnancy and early motherhood.

By Birth Companions

In this briefing paper we shine a spotlight on the issues faced by women who have contact with both the criminal justice and children’s social care systems during pregnancy and the first two years of their child’s life. We outline the context, highlight key evidence, and share some powerful contributions from our Lived Experience Team who have experienced this ‘dual contact’.
