The Local Authority care plan is adoption.� The Local Authority has issued an application for a placement order and ask that the court dispenses with the consent of the parents to placement.� The Local Authority�s applications are opposed by the parents and supported by the guardian, who said in evidence that this is a complex and difficult case.� I entirely agree with her.
The Local Authority provided brief submissions through counsel, by email yesterday, and the guardian has provided, through her solicitor today, some additional brief submissions.� The Local Authority, through Ms Rahman, say that the letter received makes no difference to the Local Authority�s position and that they still make the point, as I go on to in a moment, that the mother has not accessed one-to-one therapy as she was advised to do.�
Ms Quinn on behalf of the mother has set out a summary of the fundamental legal principles in her position statement and for the purposes of this judgment now I do not propose to read those out in full; they are uncontroversial. I have particularly taken note of and in fact read in full the judgment of Mr Justice Hedley in the case of Re A in 2007.�
In respect of the M�s eldest child a care order and a placement order was granted on the 26 th August 2011.� That decision of the Family Proceedings Court was appealed to me sitting at this court in Kingston and I upheld it, and permission to appeal my decision was refused by Lord Justice McFarlane in the Court of Appeal.� On the 23 rd November 2012 in respect of (older children) another court made a care and placement order and during that second lot of care proceedings both of the parents failed to engage with the court process and professionals.
The Consultant Adult Psychiatrist in a report dated 25 th November 2010 said ��the evidence that harmful use of alcohol has been an issue in the last 12 months is now quite strong� and that �she underestimates the risk that drinking alcohol holds for her in terms of elevating the likelihood of a relapse into drug use�.�
