A significant percentage of mothers who repeatedly lose children to the care system for adoption are care leavers themselves, new research suggests.
In a study which has now been published under the title Vulnerable Mother and Recurrent Care Proceedings, a team of researchers from Lancaster University examined the life histories of 354 young mothers living in 52 legal authority regions. Between them the mothers had appeared in a 851 care cases. This information was boosted with general population data and personal interviews with 72 women.
