Permanence Orders cover long‑term plans for a child in care where adoption is not proceeding or not possible. The court determines who holds lasting parental responsibility, creating a secure, enduring arrangement for the child’s upbringing. A solicitor develops the case, gathers evidence, prepares chronologies, drafts orders, and coordinates with the local authority, CAFCASS, potential guardians or adopters, and any other involved parties. The aim is to establish a stable, legally recognised arrangement that safeguards the child’s welfare into adulthood.
“Top class service and very loyal. Stick by you until the end, even then they check up on you! Reasonably priced. Shannon was my solicitor through my Child Arrangement Order case and she was absolutely amazing. No regrets and would use them every time. It’s a huge 5 stars from Me!”

“Sarah-Jane Varley
I required the services of a solicitor due to allegations made by a parent/guardian.
I contacted a numbers of solicitors before deciding to appoint Sarah-Jane Varley.
Sarah-Jane Varley demonstrated patience, understanding and excellent listening skills as the context of the case was outlined.
Once the detailed has been gathered I found Sarah-Jane Varley utilised excellent verbal and written communication skills which helped reduced the stress of situation.
As the case progressed I found Sarah-Jane Varley proved to be hardworking and persevering bringing the case to a successful conclusion.
I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Sarah-Jane Varley as your solicitor.
