One of the objectives of the Law Commission (Law Comm 172 1988) wished to achieve when suggesting reforms to the law relating to children was to reduce the necessity to resort to wardship both in the spheres of public and private law. Two new orders were created within s 8 of the Children Act 1989 - the prohibited steps order and the specific issues order. It was hoped that these two orders would incorporate into the statutory code some of the better features of the wardship jurisdiction.
