Details

This practical guide is aimed at care practitioners looking to get to grips with the complexities of threshold, whether from the point of view of the local authority or a parent. Establishing threshold is central to any care proceedings but the case law around threshold is often difficult to navigate. This book aims to address this by collating all the relevant guidance and case law in one comprehensive handbook, including practical examples.

This book will explore the key principles of threshold, including the leading case of Re A (A Child) [2015] EWFC 11, and tackle potentially thorny problems such as the relevant date and risk of significant harm. Each chapter will consider a different aspect of threshold and look in depth at the issues and case law arising from it, while providing concrete advice and examples. This book also considers both interim and final threshold and explores the practical difference between the two. The book provides top tips for both drafting and responding to threshold and concludes by providing a list of cases cited within each chapter.
