Lancashire CC v G (No 4)(Continuing Unavailability of Regulated Placement) 2021 EWHC 244 (Fam)

The case concerned G who, in Mr Justice MacDonald’s words, is “a highly troubled and vulnerable young woman with multifaceted emotional and behavioural difficulties and at high risk of serious self-harm or suicide”.
