In England, a Children's Guardian is a Cafcass representative appointed to safeguard and promote the child’s best interests in certain family proceedings, typically where there are concerns about those interests or where the court needs an independent view. A solicitor in this area helps by liaising with Cafcass, gathering and presenting evidence, coordinating with social services, and preparing statements and applications for the court. The guardian’s involvement shapes the child’s future arrangements, including where applicable the upbringing and contact with family members.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

The role rests on professional accountability, with regulated conduct and oversight by the Law Society and Cafcass. A solicitor ensures the guardian’s findings are properly considered, supports the child’s position in court, and handles the procedural steps necessary to resolve the case within family court proceedings.

Tagged solicitor Abigail Eriksson-Lee

The service I have received from Abigail and her team has been second to none. What particularly stood out was Abigail's calm and compassionate approach that helped me navigate even the most complex challenges. She keeps the children front and centre of the case whilst simultaneously navigating the intricacies of family law. I am sincerely grateful for her expert guidance and honest approach over what has often been an immensely challenging time.
