Child

Ex parte wardship proceedings were brought in respect of four children, all British citizens, as there were reasonable grounds for believing that the entire family had left the UK to join Islamic State in Syria. They remained wards of court. The matter returned to court inter partes to get guidance on the wardship order previously made and to examine the reporting restriction order (RRO) in place. The Family Division held the wardship order had been correctly made and would continue however, the RRO had served its purpose and no longer had any function.
