What is No Order?

Sometimes care proceedings may conclude with no order being made, this means that the court has investigated and decided that no court order is needed and the family can continue as they were before the court proceedings.

The Children Act 1989 has an important principle called the ‘no order principle’ that says a court must only make a court order for a child if it is better for the child to have a court order than to have no order at all. The court will always think about what is best for the child when it is thinking about what order to make.
