a. Was the removal of Adam from family care on 7 May justified in law the light of the facts as known?
b. Was the process by which that removal was determined (a) adequate and (b) appropriate?
c. If the answer to any of the above questions was in the negative was it appropriate to injunct the Local Authority to require the immediate return of Adam to family care (it being agreed between the family that the only realistic option was a return to great-grandparental care)?
a. There is a general duty upon Local Authorities to promote the upbringing of children by their families (my emphasis): s.17(1), Children Act 1989.
b. Whilst a Local Authority to which a care order has been granted has the power to determine the extent to which [a parent, guardian, Special Guardian or step-parent] may meet their parental responsibilities for the child, such determination is limited by it being necessary to do so in order to safeguard or promote the child� s welfare: s.33(3)(b), Children Act 1989.
