Children's referrals cover when concerns about a child's welfare are raised and a local authority decides on next steps under statute such as the Children Act 1989. A solicitor practising in this area advises if a local authority or court is involved, guiding you through safeguarding processes, pre-proceedings, and any care or court actions. They help gather and respond to information, prepare statements, and represent you in court or in proceedings with agencies such as CAFCASS. The aim is to protect the child's safety while supporting appropriate family arrangements where possible.
The child's welfare and safety are at stake in these matters, with urgent decisions, potential removal from home, and long-term arrangements. A solicitor ensures timely responses, proper documentation, and adherence to procedural deadlines, reducing the risk of irreversible steps or injustices if errors occur.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you all for all the care and concern you have shown us and for working tirelessly to ensure that our special guardianship went through. You gave us the confidence and strength to endure the complex case we were facing. I no If it weren’t for your analytical skills and knowledge, the matter wouldn’t have been settled by now. Thanks once again for your legal advice, time, and effort. Your courtesy and professionalism was outstanding and we would highly recommend Rachael Heale and the rest of the law firm.
