Procedural Posture

Care Proceedings / Final Hearing

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the children should be placed with their father in Turkey or remain with foster carers under Special Guardianship
  2. 2 Assessment of risk of harm and welfare needs of the children
  3. 3 Proportionality of interference with family life

Ratio Decidendi

The best interests of the children, particularly S., require that they remain with their current foster carers under Special Guardianship due to the significant harm suffered in the father's care, the risk of further harm, and the security and progress achieved in their current placement. Placement with the father would be seriously detrimental and disproportionate to the children's welfare needs.

Court Disposition

Special Guardianship Orders granted in favour of the foster carers.

Orders

  • Special Guardianship Orders for both children to the foster carers
  • Approval of contact plans for parents
