In some cases, this separation happens within hours of childbirth. While these children may be at risk of serious harm, can the number of parents unable to look after their child have risen so dramatically? Or are other factors at play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/bilson.org.uk\/wp_new\/wp_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/From-cradle-to-care-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bilson.org.uk\/wp_new\/wp_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/From-cradle-to-care-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bilson.org.uk\/wp_new\/wp_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/From-cradle-to-care-619x348.jpg 619w, https:\/\/bilson.org.uk\/wp_new\/wp_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/From-cradle-to-care.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/m000bb6w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">From Cradle to Care<\/a>&nbsp;exposes inconsistencies in standards, numbers, and thresholds. In the North East and North West, rates have tripled. In North Wales, the increase is even starker. It\u2019s easy to place the blame on austerity, but at a second glance the evidence suggests more intangible factors.
