Young people subject to DOL orders rarely have detailed records of their own cases…quite understandably!- so @AshleyJBaptiste and I went to High Court to request them : thanks @ClaireOverman @DoughtyStreet for representing us so well.

[Sanchia Berg @Sanchia7]

AT Par 53 Very useful guidance for all journalists who want to make similar applications - that is, retrieve and report transcripts and documents from past family Court proceedings: @plashmar @sambrook @PollyRippon @BBCAcademy @yqshi @simonisrael @hansummers @louisetickle

Please do read and share - it's been a lot of work to get this story over the line against opposition from the Trust and its taxpayer-funded lawyers.

Thank you also to Claire Overman of @DoughtyStreet for representing us at employment tribunal. [Ends]
