It’s common practice for doctors to phone social services to check but just because she’s been in care doesn’t mean she automatically gets social services involved that’s a complete myth it’s just it’s easier to use that as an excuse for them to be involved instead of admitting the actual truth why they are involved
That one on the documentary did say at the end that she continues to enjoy mother hood without the involvement of social services and it seemed to be the girl’s actual social worker who would go round to check on her. It was a good program actually really sad for her, her parents had lied about why she got took into care and then she requested her files. Her mum also got pregnant and the dad said if SS take the baby it’s ok cause the daughter can take it

So we’d only do checks if social were still involved. Just because you’re a care child or your parents had social services involved because of you it doesn’t mean SS will be involved. So my niece got pregnant at 16, she was took off my sister and placed with temporary foster care, then with my Nan then her dad. Because social was signed off and no involvement since she was 10 she didn’t have anyone involved when she was pregnant/had her baby. If pregnant under the age of 16 though then it would be a safeguarding referral to SS who would do checks and see if their involvement was necessary or not
I think i must have misremembered i googled the girl and she was 19 but lived with foster carers since 5 and got a flat at 18. She was upset and worried her baby would be taking due to her past with SSi think she still had a social worker as she was going through her files with her
