5 linked cases where Mr Justice Hayden made 15 and 16 year old girls wards of court, made passport orders and prohibited them travelling outside the jurisdiction. I acted for the mother of a girl who attended Bethnal Green Academy and was a close friend of one of the 3 girls who travelled to Syria in February 2015. The passport of her adult sister was also retained ostensible to prevent the girl using it. At a subsequent hearing this was released. Reporting restrictions were put in place during the girl’s minority after the local authority asked for life long reporting restrictions.
