GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL, PETITIONS OF GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL FOR PERMANENCE ORDERS RE ALPN AND BPN AGAINST RN AND BF [2019] ScotCS CSOH_25 (14 March 2019)

The court found that the respondent persistently failed to engage with medical and educational professionals, did not provide adequate care, removed the children from the UK without notification, and failed to complete parenting assessments. Expert evidence established that both Andrew and Barry suffered developmental and behavioural harm due to inadequate parenting. The respondent's conduct demonstrated inability to meet the children's welfare needs. Permanence orders are necessary to secure the children's stability and welfare.
