Care Proceedings: Future Risk [2024] EWFC 246 (B)

On 2nd August 2024 in the Family Court at Bournemouth HHJ Simmonds made a Special Guardianship Order in favour of the Paternal Grandparents finding that the future risks to the child were such that it was in the child’s best interests to be removed from her parents and placed with the Paternal Grandparents. In addition, the Court made a 12 month Supervision Order as a ‘buffer’ for the Paternal Grandparents in managing contact arrangements as well as for support.
