    Specific Issues is a child-law procedure used when parents or carers disagree on a particular welfare question for a child and a court is asked to decide that precise point. It sits under the Children Act 1989 as a focused tool to resolve a specific matter, rather than making broad final orders about residence or contact. A solicitor in this area drafts and issues the application, gathers evidence, coordinates with local authorities and Cafcass, and represents the client at court hearings to secure a court order on the exact question set out in the order. The process is court-driven, can involve mediation or round-table hearings, and hinges on the child’s best interests as the paramount consideration.
