(i) K and P were now in foster care and working with a consultant psychologist, Dr Lynn McLaughlin. This work had commenced on 23 June 2005 on a fortnightly basis. Dr McLaughlin had indicated that this was long term work and was only now at very early stages. However it did appear that both children were beginning to foster a working relationship with this child psychologist and there was a mutual agreement to continue the work.
(ii) A care plan, which was amended during the course of this hearing, indicated that whilst the Trust now favoured a care order with the children remaining in the care of foster carers, it would consider reunification in the event that:
(a) C showed a sustained commitment to improving her mental health by accepting advice and services, particularly medical treatment.
(c) The children had sufficient knowledge and understanding of C's mental health history so as not to be adversely affected by reunification. The Trust intended to achieve this by the continuing work with Dr McLaughlin.
(iii) The children had improved enormously over the period that they had been in foster care. K is a sporty girl and is now involving herself in a plethora of sports at school. The Trust have taken on board her wish to attend a particular school and have made appropriate arrangements. She is going into the year behind her chronological age. P is also behind in his school work but , progress is being made.
