I've never seen the full address on articles, but I have seen the street/road name. It might be worth asking the judge to say the street/road cannot be publishes for the protection of your other child. I have seen on here that the judge has agreed to this under some circumstances.

Hey,

I'm sorry to jump on your post. I hope you are all as well as can be. How does it work? For example, do you address a letter to the judge explaining your reasons? Or is it just communicated from the solicitor?

My address isn't where the person is registered as living but it was an associated address and where the police searched and removed devices under PACE.

Hi Sal, thank you that's good advice.

Hey Denzel7...no apologies needed we are all in this together. Not sure how we would ask the judge. Hopefully someone who has done same thing on here can help us with this, otherwise I will ask my solicitor next time I speak with her and let you know xx

You would need to ask the solicitor/barrister to request that the court doesn't disclose address or it's not to be reported on and the reasons would be valid considering there are children residing at the address. Xx

You can also request a closed court - no public/media allowed in. Usually this is done in sensitive circumstances so ask the solicitor if this would be possible considering your son was a minor at the time of the offence. I'm not sure if this is just for trials or all hearings and whether or not it would be possible but worth an ask I suppose x

Hi Daffodil,

This is potentially a stupid question, do you have to make two requests? Primarily for it not to be read out; secondly for it not to be printed? And both requests are made through the solicitor? Although it cannot be guaranteed? I just want to check my understanding is correct.

Best wishes

Thank you Daffodil we have requested that our address is not read out or printed because we have previously been subjected to a campaign of intimidation and harassment by a family member which impacted considerably on my mental health
