Popis: Objective Family court (FC) care proceedings decide on removing children from parental care in response to concerns about risks of harm. Courts and social care report frequent births, often after short birth intervals as a key problem among mothers presenting to FCs.

Results 3,118,327 women (15-50 years) had a FLB, of whom 34,062 had FC involvement. Cumulative incidence of FC within 10 years from FLB was 1.3% (95% Confidence Interval [CI]; 1.3-1.3) overall but highest in mothers who were younger (6.7% if
