| Sumari: | In the United Kingdom, the 1989 Children Act aims to identify situations of danger and risk within families at an early stage, in order to protect underage children across the country. The parents interviewed have all faced the removal and/or threat of removal of their child(ren). How do social and family policies in the United Kingdom shape parents’ trajectories in such cases? This article examines the actions taken by parents monitored by British social services to avoid the decisions made on their behalf. It is based on an ongoing qualitative doctoral research project, carried out since 2022 with parents who are experiencing, or have experienced exile outside the United Kingdom. The analysis of these exile journeys shows the either voluntary or constrained choices made by parents to maintain, or even rebuild, the family unit through the birth of new children. It also reveals the various resources required to undertake migration, as well as the many losses encountered by migrant parents. |
