​The Children’s Social Care myth busting guide was intended to bring clarity to some parts of guidance that had been raised with the department. However, the points raised by Article 39 suggest that the guide did not achieve that. Rather than divert time and resources to litigation we decided to withdraw the guide in its present form pending a full reconsideration of its contents.
