Kinship foster care covers arrangements where a child is cared for by relatives or close friends under the statutory safeguarding framework for looked-after children. A solicitor in this area handles care or supervision proceedings to place the child with kin, negotiates and drafts care plans, coordinates with the local authority and Cafcass, and applies for or against orders that govern contact, schooling, and long‑term permanence. The work is shaped by child welfare policies, court timetables, and the needs of the kinship network.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decision to place a child with relatives is time‑sensitive and affects the child’s stability, identity and future guardianship. A solicitor ensures correct orders are sought, challenges or defends care plans when needed, and secures protections such as contact schedules, permanency plans, and safeguarding conditions, underpinned by local authority governance and the court process.

Throughout this long process Zara was always easy to contact and quick to respond to queries. Navigating the complex child arrangement legal system alongside Zara and Belle I felt well supported and genuinely cared for. Work was always completed quickly and to a really high standard.
