Secure Accommodation Orders: London Borough of Barking and Dagenham v SS EWHC 4436 (Fam)

Please be aware of the attached case in which Hayden J sets out the principles governing the granting of Secure Accommodation Orders.

Hayden J makes it clear that such orders are to be a last resort, even when the s25 criteria are met, and specifically refers to the use of injunctions to safeguard children from exploitative adults (see BCC v Riaz).
