Birmingham Children’s Trust is the body responsible for providing social care and support services for children, young people, and families in Birmingham.
A letter from the trust, shared by the family, said its panel had considered Tilly’s needs but did not believe there were any unmet needs and that a child of Tilly’s age needed to be with her primary care givers to ensure good attachment.
“Panel recommend grandparents are brought fully on board with training around this to support the family as a whole to manage this,” it said.
The trust had known grandparents were unable to help as they had told staff during assessments, Dan said.
“So two of our grandparents are unfortunately no longer present, one works full time and the other one has her own health concerns,” he added.
