Case No. EWFC-85

86.The court makes no findings on the mother’s allegations. 87.The mother, with the able assistance of her barrister, has put all her evidence before the court and has challenged the evidence of the father and the social workers. An independent person - myself as the judge - has reviewed the broad canvas of the evidence and the detail of the allegations. I have found that the father probably did not abuse Yasmin sexually on 10 August 2019. I have declined to find any of the other allegations proved, for the reasons I have given. 88.The children are entitled to have a full relationship with both their parents, provided this is safe and in their welfare interests. The focus must now shift to a welfare analysis. I am ordering a report under section 7 of the Children Act, with instructions to Cafcass to consider how to reintroduce direct contact between the children and their father, whom they have not seen for over 2 ½ years.
