Paragraph 1 of the judgment stated one of the underpinning issues with the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators in that they were “…a shift away from intervention by public authorities after a risk to children’s and young people’s welfare has been identified, to an emphasis on early intervention to promote their wellbeing…”. This was to be achieved by altering “…the existing law in relation to the sharing of information about children and young people, so as to enable information about concerns about their wellbeing, held by individual bodies, to be pooled in the hands of named persons and shared with other bodies, with the ultimate aim of promoting their wellbeing.”
