BOR14 protection of family among siblings was not engaged because there were no demonstrable interests, commitments or close personal ties; BOR14 privacy was engaged but the Arrangement and freeing orders were lawful (prescribed by statute) and proportionate because adoption/placement decisions were demonstrably taken in each child’s best interests on available evidence (including clinical assessments) and the restriction on sibling contact is justified until co‑adoption by same family/families becomes realistic.
