dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores characteristics of women whose unborn children were reported to statutory child protection, and the way prenatal statutory child protection involvement was experienced by women and service providers. Mixed methodology was used to: identify characteristics of a sample of reported women, interview women who had been prenatally reported, and survey service practitioners providing prenatal health and social care services. Results highlight that pregnant women reported to child protection have multiple and complex needs, pregnant women involved with child protection can achieve phenomenal change in their circumstances, and service practitioners are working with highly complex situations and are motivated to engage pregnant women with health and social care. However, to achieve positive outcomes services need to be matched to need, responsive, and synchronised.
