'Of the professional witnesses that I have heard the most impressive of all have been Ms B, Ms J, Ms BS, Mr DH and Ms F. I consider that they each gave measured, considerate and careful evidence. Given the contents of the evidence of those witnesses I am not sending out any messages that care and placement orders can be avoided in this case. Despite the Local Authority's very flawed procedures and approach to this case, Ms B, Ms J, Mr DH and Ms BS did what they could to support M and M was not able to engage with them.
However, I accept that, if M feels supported in the way that is being proposed, there is a possibility that evidence might be forthcoming that shows that she might change sufficiently so as to be able to care for Chd. I therefore intend to adjourn this case for a few weeks whilst that evidence is gathered'.
