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.

This application process was carried out efficiently and to a successful conclusion by Jen Law. I was regularly updated on all steps in the process, and felt at all times that my interests in this matter were being supported as I would have hoped. The matter was concluded more swiftly than I had initially expected, and I am very satisfied in the work that has been done on my behalf.

After my sons EHCP got refused I came across Samantha, I called up and had a chat explained what I needed and how do I go around it. Samantha explained everything. What options I had, helped me every step of the way. No question was to big or to small. She made me feel really comfortable, and at ease with such a stressful situation. Wanting to get it right, with no fuss or issues. I can not thank Samantha enough. My son now has his EHCP.
