When parents or guardians disagree about a child’s upbringing, legal intervention may sometimes be necessary. A Prohibited Steps Order (PSO) Ascot gives the court the power to stop a parent from making certain decisions about a child without approval, helping to protect their welfare and provide clarity in difficult situations.
What Does a Prohibited Steps Order Do?
A PSO, granted under the Children Act 1989, is designed to prevent specific actions that could impact a child’s life. This might include moving a child to another location, changing their school, altering their name, or authorising medical treatment without agreement. Unlike other court orders, it restricts behaviour rather than requiring it, always with the child’s best interests as the guiding principle.
