[2025] EWHC 2637 (Fam)

The social workers are professional witnesses. They have no reason to be anything other than honest and no party suggested the contrary. The current social worker in particular gave her evidence with particular care. I have no hesitation in accepting her evidence and I also accept the evidence of the previous social worker.

I also accept the evidence of the foster carer (‘FC’), who has no reason to be anything other than honest and helpful to the court. As she made clear, the logs she has produced have been written on the assumption that they may be read one day by A when she is an adult and for that reason do not record every matter of relevance.
