The court dismissed claims that the decision taken by the council was unlawful.
A spokesperson for Ealing Council said: “The council’s priority is to ensure that families can access appropriate early help support across the borough, whether that’s through children’s centres or other community venues, depending on what best meets the needs of families and young people.
“We welcome the High Court’s judgment. More than 2,000 residents took part in the consultation on the Improved Early Help Offer, and their feedback helped shape the decision. We are pleased that this has been recognised by the court.
“The legal challenge has been a costly and time-consuming process, and our plans to improve early help services were paused as a result. We can now resume the work needed to implement the changes.”
Full details of the ruling can be found on the National Archives website.
