On a holistic assessment the Judge properly accepted K's evidence on the balance of probabilities based on multiple corroborating strands (age disparity and vulnerability, repeated attempts to leave, police family harm reports, social worker s132 reports and documentary evidence), concluded N had inflicted family violence and that a protection order and supervised contact were necessary to protect K and the children's welfare pending N's completion of rehabilitative courses.
