Abstract

The article focuses on the elevated risk of early maternal death among women whose children have been removed from their care, drawing on observational data from Pause, a UK-based charity. It highlights the critical health and social vulnerabilities faced by these mothers, including mental health issues, domestic abuse, and substance misuse, which are inadequately addressed by current child-focused services.
