Child Protection

Child Protection

The law relating to children is highly specialised and dealing with child care matters requires solicitors with in depth knowledge and experience. We have a team of experts who will guide you through the legal process and handle your case sympathetically.

Our team comprises members of the Law Society's Children Panel, solicitors recognised as experts in their field. We act for children (through their appointed guardians) as well as parents and other family members (grandparents, step-parents, uncles, aunts, etc) in a wide range of proceedings. We are also able to offer legal aid for child care work.

We can assist in dealing with:

• Care proceedings
• Child residence
• Child contact
• Disputes with Social Services on behalf of parents or other family members
• Applications to discharge a care order
• Applications for contact with a child in care
• Child protection - representation at case conferences
• Adoption
