Lord Justice Ward:
So she is not in a position or was not then in a position, and I think they are important words to emphasise, was not then in a position, to safeguard a young child from risk caused by those with whom she associates.
"She expressed the hope that the local authority would support Ms [W] in accessing and funding the therapy which Mr Eyles recommended."
I am told that the local authority have done nothing to progress that therapy, but as a mark of this mother's, perhaps, change, and change for the better, but as a good mark in her favour she tells me that she has been to her own General Practitioner seeking help and is doing her own level best to get the help that must be afforded to her in order that she can overcome the terrible disadvantages that she has had to face in her young life, disadvantages summarised in paragraph 1 of the judgment under appeal. She is deserving of help, and I do ask the local authority to ensure that they do give her that help under Part 3 of the Children Act, lest any thought cross their minds of invoking the remedies under Part 4 of the Children Act. They will understand what I say; so will the judge.
Order: Application refused.
