Sara Jane,
It is the duty of a litigation friend fairly and competently to conduct
proceedings on behalf of a child or protected party. He/she must have no
interest in the proceedings and decisions she/he takes in proceedings must be
taken for the benefit of the child or protected party. In these circumstances I
think you could rely on s35 (Disclosures required by law or made in connection
with legal proceedings etc) to disclose.
Incidentally, a litigation friend can be a parent or guardian so you might first
wish to confirm what the actual relationship to the child is/protected party.
Rgds,
Kevin Broadfoot
