Intervention
Pause aims to break the cycle of repeat removal by intervening at a point when the women have no children in their care and offers them a chance to take a pause from the usual periods of chaos, anger and reaction to care proceedings.
Pause helps them to focus on themselves with the purpose of supporting them to take control of their lives and to develop new skills and responses. To do this, they are required to take effective contraception during the intervention, thereby creating a space to pause, reflect, learn and aspire.
Target population
Women who have experienced, or are at risk of experiencing, at least two episodes of care proceedings leading to the removal of one or more of their children into care

Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise.
