Case No. EWFC-63

6.There is some history to this case, and this judgment must be read in conjunction with the judgment I handed down on the 15th August 2022. That also sets out the history of this matter up until that point. 7.Since that judgment was handed down, directions were given. They included by consent an agreement for the mother to be further assessed by a psychologist, and for her to prepare a psychological report and risk assessment. It was also agreed that an independent social worker would carry out a parenting assessment using the PAM’s model for the ability of the mother to care for the children.8.I have also had to determine difficulties in the placement in relation to Y, which has eventually resulted in her being in a foster placement at some distance away. 9. The mother filed a response to the judgment on 30 August 2022, in which she sets out that she disagrees with many of the findings. 10.The psychological report was filed on 7 November 2022, and the parenting assessment was filed on 12 January 2023. That report was filed slightly late as there had been some missed appointments, but the local authority filed their final evidence on 25 January 2023, and the mother filed her final evidence on 7 February 2023. The original guardian has most unfortunately been signed off sick, and has not returned to work, but I am grateful to both the management at Cafcass, and the new guardian who within a very short space of time was able to get to grips with this matter, undertake a significant number of visits, and then to file her report just before the hearing commenced.
