An application to discharge a Care Order can be made by the child themselves if they are old enough and have the relevant competence, the parent, the Local Authority or any person with parental responsibility.
An application to discharge a Care Order can only be made if it can be shown to the Court that there has been a significant change in circumstances from the time when the Final Order was made. An example would be if therapy was recommended for a parent to undertake to address any concerns or any risk to the child and the same has now been completed.
The paramount consideration of the Court when considering an application to discharge the Care Order will be the welfare of the child.
