As somebody who is involved in care cases day in and day out, I was prompted by reading this practice note to ask myself whether I have ever seen an IRO or heard directly from one in any of the cases in which I have been involved? I have racked my brains, but I cannot think of any instance.' By Gabrielle Jan Posner, Barrister and Recorder, Trinity Chambers Chelmsford. Full story - Family Law Week
