With rare, exclusive permission from the family courts, Journalist and Broadcaster Louise Tickle explores this sensitive subject, talking to families who have been damaged by decisions made by one local authority.
With more children in care than ever before, and the government about to publish a report on the deaths of two toddlers at the hands of their parent’s new partners - social workers are being pushed to step in earlier than ever, but what happens when social workers go too far, too fast?
