Analysis
Analysis
It is not disputed, and I find, that the First-tier Tribunal erred in law—
in relation to Social Services’ involvement and input, by making findings not supported by the evidence, and failing to take account of evidence;
by failing to take into account, or to give adequate weight to, evidence of poor mental health after the start of the abuse and after the assault at the end of the abuse which had caused the scar; and
by failing to make a finding as to why Ms W left college when she did eventually leave, and in particular whether that was due to her disabling mental injury.
I take in turn each of those errors of law.
