A Prohibited Steps Order is an application to the court under the Children’s Act, and it may be used to safeguard against a broad range of living and well-being decisions.

A Prohibited Steps Order can cover any number of specific circumstances, including:

• Whether your child or children should change their names;
• Decisions pertaining to their education, and where they should be schooled;
• Whether they should have a particular medical treatment or operation;
• Whether they should receive religious or non-religious education;
• Taking the child to live abroad on a permanent basis;
• Preventing someone from having contact with your child.

When making their decision, what criteria will the court consider?

When making their decision, the court will consider the following criteria:

• The wishes and feelings of the child;
• The child’s emotional, physical, and educational needs;
• Whether the child has suffered any kind of abuse or neglect, or is in danger of doing so;
• The ability of the child’s parents or guardians to meet the child’s needs;
• The effects on the child of any changes in circumstances as a result of the order;
• What changes the court has the power to make.
