Understanding Care Proceedings

What Are Care Proceedings?

Care proceedings are legal processes initiated by social services when there are serious concerns about a child’s safety and welfare. These proceedings aim to determine the best course of action for the child’s future, which may involve placing the child under the care of the local authority or implementing other protective measures.

The Role of Care Solicitors

Care solicitors play a crucial role in representing and advising parents, guardians, and other family members involved in care proceedings. They ensure that your rights are protected and that your voice is heard throughout the process. Our experienced team at NLS will guide you through every step, providing clear and practical advice tailored to your unique situation.
