This judgment was delivered in private.  The judge has given leave for this version of the judgment to be published on condition that (irrespective of what is contained in the judgment) in any published version of the judgment the anonymity of the children and members of their family must be strictly preserved.   All persons, including representatives of the media, must ensure that this condition is strictly complied with.   Failure to do so will be a contempt of court.

Thank you for visiting BAILII today. We hope you found what you were looking for.

BAILII was founded in 2000 to provide free online access to British and Irish legal materials, and millions of people use it every year — legal educators and students, practising lawyers, the advice sector, and many more. But it is not free to operate.

BAILII is funded through donations, and we are very grateful to our existing donors. However, we need your help to meet all of our costs and ensure that our extensive collection of legal information remains freely accessible to all (without cookies or trackers). If you found BAILII useful today, would you consider making a contribution? No donation is too small. If every visitor this month gives just £1, it will have a significant impact on BAILII's ability to continue providing free access to the law.

Thank you very much for your support!
