Sir James Munby,
President of the Family Division :
"It ismy
assessment that the intervention of the state has been a wakeup call for this couple … It is
my
assessment that their current beliefs do not pose a risk or will compromise the safety of their
children
… [They] are good parents and they are able to care for all their
children.
I see no reason whatsoever to remove the
children
from their care."
The local authority and the guardian accept that conclusion and the analysis that underpins it. So do I.
"There are no immediate concerns for the welfare of thechildren
and the parents are working in partnership with
Children's
Social Care."
"UPON the court receiving the independent assessment of RT dated 16 August2015
and the position statements of the applicant local authority and
children's
guardian, the contents of which recommend the discharge of the wardship orders currently in place on the basis that the identified risks are
manageable
under child in need plans and ongoing cooperation by the respondent parents with the applicant local authority
AND UPON the parents agreeing in full to the terms of this order
AND UPON the court indicating that a brief anonymised judgment will be handed down in writing on a date to be notified
BY CONSENT IT IS ORDERED THAT:-
1 The wardship orders firstmade
in respect of the subject
