In England, Issues with Social Services covers safeguarding, child protection and the involvement of local authorities in family life, from early help to formal care proceedings. A solicitor in this area investigates concerns, reviews or challenges social services decisions, and helps with applications for orders or plans that affect a child’s living arrangements. They gather evidence, liaise with social workers and Cafcass, and represent clients at interim and final hearings in the family courts. The work is guided by the Children Act 1989 and related legislation and guidance.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The consequences can include permanent changes to a child’s living arrangements, with time-bound decisions and potential court orders.
