Whether it is safe for the child to have increased access with father — Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989, s 121 — Care of Children Act, s 5,6, 13 and 48. The father had applied for an access order under s 121 and a parenting order under s 48. The Judge determined it was not in the child’s welfare or best interests to have increased or unsupervised contact with the father (s 6). The child’s severe behavioural issues had improved in recent times which the Judge found was likely to be as a result of less exposure to the father.
