Child Care Proceedings

Our Services:

• Legal Advice and Representation: Our solicitors offer expert legal advice and representation to parents, guardians, and other parties involved in child care proceedings. We guide you through the legal process, explaining your rights and options every step of the way.
• Assessment and Planning: We assess your circumstances and develop a strategic plan tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are facing allegations of neglect or abuse or you are concerned about the welfare of a child, we work with you to formulate the best course of action.
• Court Proceedings: Our team represents clients in court proceedings related to child care, including emergency protection orders, care orders, supervision orders, and placement orders. We advocate vigorously for our clients’ interests in court, ensuring that their voice is heard and their rights are protected.
• Negotiation and mediation: In some cases, it may be possible to resolve child care disputes through negotiation or mediation rather than litigation. Our solicitors are skilled negotiators who work towards achieving amicable resolutions whenever possible while always prioritising the welfare of the child.
• Expert Reports and Assessments: We collaborate with expert professionals, including psychologists, social workers, and medical professionals, to obtain independent assessments and reports when necessary. These reports can provide valuable evidence to support your case in court.
• Appeals and Reviews: If you are dissatisfied with a court decision or believe that your case was not handled fairly, we can assist you in appealing the decision or seeking a review. Our solicitors have experience navigating the appellate process and will advocate vigorously on your behalf.
