Understanding care pathways and placement stability for babies in Wales
A Born into Care report
This is the summary of a full report that provides new evidence about entry routes to care, pathways through care, and placement outcomes for the very youngest children in the care system in Wales.
The report is the seventh in the Born into Care series, and the first to use data collected by local authorities on all children in care to understand the care experiences and outcomes for babies under a year old.
The study identifies four main pathways for babies entering care under voluntary arrangements or an interim care order.
