MISS HOLLORAN appeared on behalf of the Local Authority. MISS WATKINSON appeared on behalf of the First Respondent. MISS BOWCOCK appeared on behalf of the Second Respondent. ____________________
This is an application brought by L County Council to commit MD and ID to prison for contempt of court. Local authority concern arose in respect of this family in June this year when a referral was received from the police regarding an incident of what was considered to be domestic violence at the family's home.
The local authority's perception, on investigating the family, was that the parents' relationship had been characterised by violence and volatility. Neither parent, in the Local Authority's view, was willing to engage with their investigations. The Mother, in particular, seemed determined to minimise the incident.
Social Services investigations revealed concerns regarding the parents' engagement with both the health and educational services for their children.
