Families Birth to Threes

Pause works with women who have experienced, or are at risk of, repeat removals of children from their care, has been awarded the Big Lottery Fund grant which will allow it to expand its service to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland over the next three years.

Pause has grown from running a single pilot programme when it was founded in Hackney in 2013, to operating 17 practices across England by the end of 2017.

Pause practices currently operate in Barking and Dagenham, Bristol, Cumbria, Derby, Greenwich, Hackney, Hull, Islington, Newcastle, Newham, North East Lincolnshire, Slough, Southwark, West Sussex and Wiltshire, with two more practices set to open in Blackpool and St Helens by the end of the year.
