ANONYMITY ORDER

On 5 May 2023, Upper Tribunal Judge Hemingway made the following order, which remains in force—

“Pursuant to rule 14 of the above Rules, the Upper Tribunal grants anonymity to the individuals referred to in the documentation which relates to this case as “child”, “parent” and “young person” (three separate individuals). Accordingly, no person shall, without the consent of the Upper Tribunal, publish or reveal the name or address of those individuals or any information which would be likely to lead to the identification of any of them or any family member of any of them, in connection with these proceedings.

Further, the Upper Tribunal takes the opportunity to remind the parties and anyone who may read these directions of the content of Section 97(2) of the Children Act 1989 as follows:

(2) No person shall publish to the public at large or any section of the public any material which is intended, or likely to identify-

(a) any child as being involved in any proceedings before the High Court or the family court in which any power under this Act or the Adoption and Children Act 2002 may be exercised by the court with respect to that or any other child, or

(b) an address or school as being that of a child involved in any such proceedings.”.
