The Society sought extended care for H.M., who was found in need of protection.
The mother, B.T., sought H.M.'s return.
The court found that while H.M. continued to need protection, the risk was low and B.T.'s parenting was adequate.
The court critically examined the Society's restrictive access policies and communication, which contributed to the strained relationship.
The final order placed H.M. in the mother's care under Society supervision for six months, with specific terms for communication and support, and no access for the father.
