Top UK Judge Issues Warning to Social Workers Who Take Children from Parents

• Sir James Munby attacked workers in Bristol who didn’t explain themselves
• They did not tell a couple why their two children were being taken from them
• They breach a court order in doing so – which could carry a jail term in future

They only released the information to the parents 45 minutes before the decision was due to be finalised, giving the family no real hope of mounting a challenge in court.
