Ms Harris, Counsel, for the First Respondent Mother, JD Mr Kent, Counsel, for the Second Respondent Father, JDJ Ms De Freitas, Counsel, for the Third and Fourth Respondents, acting through their Children's Guardian ____________________
The Guardian supports the Local Authority's case and says that the children cannot wait any longer for permanency.
Following the fact-finding hearing, I gave directions timetabling the case to a final hearing. I gave the parties permission to instruct Dr Melissa Jackaman, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, to undertake an assessment of the parents in the light of my findings.
After receiving Dr Jackaman's report and noting her recommendations, the local authority sought clarification on the 26 th May 2015 of the parents' positions in the light of those recommendations, particularly from JDJ. His representatives informed the local authority on the 15 th June 2015 that the parents were separating and that he was putting himself forward as a sole carer for the children.
The parenting assessments of the mother and the father were completed and filed [C185-211; C212-252]. Neither of the assessments recommended the children being returned to the care of either parent.
