Article summary

This week's edition of Family weekly highlights includes an analysis of the Court of Appeal decision on the differences in the approach taken by courts in different regions when deciding whether a care order, supervision order or no order should be made when public law care proceedings end with a plan for the child to be placed or remain living at home. The procedure to be followed where allegations of conduct are pleaded is set out, together with special measures and participation directions in an application to set aside a consent order. Declarations not to notify the maternal and paternal families regarding a child in public children proceedings in circumstances of domestic abuse are also considered.
