On 12 May, the Court of Appeal granted a Christian couple, whose adopted children have been taken into care, permission for their case to be heard in full before the Court of Appeal.

The two young brothers, had stayed with the couple for over three years before being taken into care in summer 2014. The couple – who cannot be named for legal reasons – have raised their own family, and sought to provide a loving home for the two children who had come from troubled backgrounds.

The couple said that they were not kept properly informed about the investigation conducted by social services, and were not given a proper opportunity to explain their parenting methods. Their views on disciplining the children and taking them to church were wholly disrespected. Describing their experience, the couple said: ‘Many of the accusations levelled against us by social services during the investigation have been simply not true or have been blown out of all proportion.
