Jennifer Offord for the Applicant Kay Swannack for the 1st Respondent James Gascoigne for the 2nd Respondent Sarah Walker for the Child Hearing date: 21 January 2021 ____________________
At the time proceedings were issued E was at risk of suffering from significant harm, such risk of harm being attributable to the care given and likely to be given not being what it would be reasonable to expect a parent to give to the following concerns:
The Mother admitted to the Doctor that she had hit E on her left cheek and left buttock. The mother has subsequently accepted that she smacked E twice, once on her face and once on her bottom. The mother states that she has never acted in such anger towards E The Doctor finds this admission consistent with E's injuries and concludes that there was bruising as a result of the Mother hitting E. The Doctor goes on to conclude that the injuries to E's face suggest excessive and inappropriate chastisement. E has suffered significant physical harm and emotional harm as the result of this.
