This work covers applications to place a child for adoption under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, sought through court in care proceedings to obtain a placement order. A solicitor drafts and files the application, gathers social services and welfare reports, and coordinates with the guardian and any counsel. They represent the client at hearings to obtain or oppose a placement order, ensuring all evidence is properly served and the child's welfare is the central consideration throughout the process.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The crucial step is the court granting a placement order, which authorises the local authority to place the child for adoption. The solicitor explains the implications of the order, manages timing and guardianship matters, and ensures compliance with statutory thresholds, safeguarding timelines and evidential requirements to protect the child’s immediate and long-term welfare.
