JUDGE PATES:
I turn now to the background of risk. Prior to the final care order being made, TC lived with his mother, AB. It is fair to say he has had a difficult life.
"From the outset, communication from the local authority has been disappointingly poor. Despite numerous attempts, we have only had one 72-hour meeting where very little information was provided. I have sent multiple emails to the social worker seeking essential details such as chronologies and paperwork to understand why TC is placed with us and the reasons behind the existing DoLS order. Unfortunately, there has been no response, making it challenging for us to address TC's questions and understanding of the matter."
