Harry Simons and Alice Needell discuss F (Children: Placement Orders: Proportionality) [2026] EWCA Civ 990, what it tells us about the concept of ‘future risk’ in public law proceedings, and what the court needs to establish about the future risk of harm before that risk can justify removing children permanently from their families.
