They are the daughters of M and F. There had been no Social Services involvement with the family at any time prior to the allegations of sexual abuse which were made by B in March 2015. The proceedings started as private law proceedings after the parents had separated. The separation came about as a result of the allegations.
The matters expressed in Re: C and D have equal application in a case where there are allegations of sexual abuse.
