How does the court decide to issue a Parenting order?
The court will ask for the family to have an assessment. This requires the court to collect information on your family circumstances and what effect a Parenting order may have.
An Assessment will involve you talking to a Youth Offending team officer who will discuss problems and issues that may have contributed to the court appearance. They will consider whether they feel a Parenting Order would be suitable, or whether voluntary help would be acceptable. They will recommend the support that would be most helpful for you and your family.
