Discharging a Care Order

 

Can I make an application to discharge a Care Order?

 

An application to discharge a Care Order can be made by the child themselves, the parent, the Local Authority or any person with parental responsibility.

 

An application to discharge a Care Order can only be made if you can demonstrate to the Court that there has been a significant change in your circumstances from the time when the Final Order was made. An example would be if therapy was recommended for you to undertake to address any risk to the child and the same has now been completed.

 

What will the Court consider?

 

The paramount consideration of the Court when considering an application to discharge the Care Order will be the welfare of the child.
