CARE PROCEEDINGS

If authorities become concerned about the safety or wellbeing of a child, the local authority may start a process known as ‘care proceedings’. They may also make a care order for the child which means that the local authority will have responsibility for the child, making decisions about their welfare – such as where they live and who cares for them.

Families involved in care proceedings need expert legal advice on Children Law, as it can be a confusing and stressful time – particularly if you don’t agree with the decisions that the authorities are making. BRR Law has an expert team of children and care proceedings solicitors who can help families through the process.
