Care law covers safeguarding, protection and the welfare of vulnerable children and adults in England. A solicitor in this area helps authorities, families and vulnerable individuals navigate care proceedings, safeguarding plans, and placement decisions, including care orders, residence orders and contact arrangements. They draft and lodge court documents, gather evidence, liaise with social services, health professionals and schools, and represent clients in the Family Court. They may also handle Court of Protection matters about decisions for adults lacking capacity and assist with lasting power of attorney and deputyship issues.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Care matters involve intricate assessments of the welfare of a child or adult, balancing safety, stability and the rights of families. The solicitor handles applications and responses in care proceedings, prepares care plans and evidence, negotiates with local authorities and guardians, and represents clients in court, including potential appeals. Where adults lack capacity, they navigate the Court of Protection processes, capacity assessments, and decision-making arrangements to protect the client's welfare and rights.
