Lisa's story

Lisa first came to a Hearing on lack of care grounds. Her parents had serious mental health issues, resulting in the chronic neglect of Lisa and her younger brother and sister, aged three and four. The Hearing made a Supervision Requirement, and the 11 year old was placed in foster care with a loving and stable family.

The Supervision Requirement was terminated four years after she first came to a Hearing. Lisa now lives with foster carers, with whom she has a fantastic relationship. She is doing well at school and is thriving in her new environment.

She is in regular contact with her younger brother and sister, who are placed together with foster carers.

The Reporter who took part in Lisa’s last Hearing said it was very memorable because of the obvious transformation in her life. The Reporter said: “From the pretty awful existence that she had in the care of her parents, Lisa has emerged as an intelligent, articulate young lady, who clearly has a bright future ahead of her.”
