The appropriate place for considerations that involve looking at reports and other things relating to where the child’s best interests lie is the family court. There is already a mechanism by which the offender, or another parental responsibility holder, can apply to the family courts to review the Crown Court order should they believe that the circumstances mean it is not in the interests of the child for the order to have been made. Where such an application is made, the family courts will consider all the circumstances of the case and make a decision in the child’s best interests.
