ii) The very real risk that will revert to drug-taking and her previous chaotic way of life following her release from custody despite the efforts she has made whilst in prison.
iii) The need for the mother to undergo a significant period of treatment and drug relapse prevention work within the community before there could any confidence that her abstinence would be maintained. The guardian says in his report at paragraph 16: ' experts in working with drug addiction and associated mental health issues wold normally say there needs to be a period of at least 6 to 12 months of abstinence in the community before they would start to feel more confident about maintenance'.
iv) The extent of the neglect that the child suffered when in her care and the likelihood that the same neglect would arise if he were to return to her care in the immediate future.
ii) He has little contact with his own family and little other community support. This is another important feature of the reasoning of the Local Authority and guardian and I accept that the Local Authority has established this point on evidence.
