About us
Our Child Care team specialises in handling all types of “public law” children’s matters, no matter how complex and sensitive. We have extensive experience dealing with cases involving non accidental injury, fabricated or induced illness, domestic violence, abuse, coercive control, mental health issues, learning difficulties and issues related to substance abuse.
Where legal aid funding is available, our firm accepts instructions in categories of public family law applications which other firms often turn away, including applications to Discharge Care Orders, Revoke Placement Orders and for Contact with Children in Care.
Our team can represent you in matters such as:
- Care proceedings
- Acting for children’s guardians
- Child protection
- Emergency protection
- Special guardianship
- Contact with children in care
- Discharge of care orders
- Adoption and placement applications
- Public law outline (pre-proceedings process)
- Secure accommodation orders
- Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS)
- Legal aid
We are dedicated to offering you and your family the comprehensive legal support you deserve.
How we will support you
Our Child Care team offer practical guidance on your legal rights and those of the children involved.
Whether you’re navigating care proceedings, responding to an emergency protection order, wanting to reunite with a child who is in care or looking to increase the contact you have with them – we prioritise understanding your unique circumstances.
Once we understand the full picture, we’ll outline your options and carefully guide you through the steps needed to achieve the best outcome for you and your child. If you are eligible, we can also help you apply for legal aid which is often available in proceedings involving Local Authorities. Many applications are non-means- and non-merits-tested.
As well as knowing everything there is to know about Child Care legal processes, we’re also known for our personable service. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback from clients about their experience working with us. It’s testament to our hands-on approach and supportive nature. We’re only ever a phone call away and there is always someone to help, whether it is one of our solicitors or a barrister we work with closely.
