What factors are associated with children being taken into care by the state after initial contact with services? A survival analysis of Children’s Social Care data in Liverpool
In our study of routinely collected Children's Social Care data, we have identified the key factors that increased the hazard of a child becoming looked after. These findings highlight potential areas for service change and can be used to inform risk prediction and preventative action, however, the local context may influence the generalisability of our findings to other settings. .
