In England, this work covers representing a child in family court proceedings, such as private law disputes about parental responsibility, residence and contact, or public law cases where a child’s welfare requires state involvement. A solicitor practising in this area acts as the child’s advocate in court, gathering the child’s views, briefing social workers, and working with the court to protect the child’s interests. The work is shaped by the Family Procedure Rules, and by public authorities like Cafcass in some cases.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A solicitor for the child focuses on safeguarding the child's welfare in proceedings where irreversible decisions about living arrangements or contact with parents may be made. The role includes ensuring proper procedure, interpreting social work assessments, and presenting the child’s best interests to the court; the involvement is time-sensitive and tied to safeguarding duties.
