Children & Social Services
Having Social Services involved with your family can be worrying and upsetting. Our expert family lawyers can help you through this process.
Whether Social Services are just involved to provide you with support and help to safely look after your children or whether they want to remove your children from your care it is important that you obtain the correct legal advice without delay.
We are able to provide support through the Child Protection Conference process, ensuring you access the help you need with your children to allow them to remain living with you. We can represent you throughout the Public Law Outline (PLO) process at pre-proceedings meetings and negotiate with Social Services on your behalf.
If Social Services decide to issue care proceedings, we are here to represent you, whether that is for a care order, a supervision order, an emergency protection order or a placement order. We can even help where a special guardianship order may be appropriate so that your children can live with a family member or friend. Our experienced solicitors can guide you through the various court applications that may be issued ensuring you understand how they will affect you and your children.
We are here to help you with care and compassion. We are Law Society Accredited for Children Law so have the expert knowledge and experience that you need
Legal Aid
We believe in ensuring access to justice for all. Legal Aid is available to all parents who are involved in Care proceedings without any financial contribution, irrespective of their financial circumstances. Legal Aid may also be available to others who are involved in cases concerning children and we will ensure that, if you are eligible for Legal Aid, an application is made on your behalf without delay.
