In England, the appointment of a guardian for a child concerns who will safeguard the child’s welfare when the parents are unable to do so or where a Local Authority is involved. A solicitor acting in this area helps apply to the court to appoint a guardian, or to appoint a guardian ad litem or welfare guardian in specific proceedings, and advises on the guardian’s duties. The process involves assessments, reports to the court, and ensuring the child’s voice is heard in decisions about their future.
The solicitor handles applications to appoint guardians, prepares evidence and affidavits, liaises with Local Authorities, social workers and the family, and ensures the guardian has appropriate powers to protect the child’s welfare. They may draft and submit orders or case papers, gather background information, and respond to any objections or changes in circumstances.
