In England, this work area covers safeguarding concerns and potential civil or criminal action arising from allegations of child abuse occurring in church settings. A solicitor handles investigations, disclosure of information, and any claims against churches or related bodies, along with reporting to authorities when required. They draft and respond to court documents, coordinate with police, local authorities, and safeguarding bodies, and advise on risk assessments, child protection orders, and inter-agency processes to protect a child and ensure proper accountability.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor deals with complex inter-agency procedures, safeguarding investigations, potential negligence or vicarious liability claims, and any civil actions for damages. They navigate statutes and procedures governing child protection, think strategically about evidence collection, witness statements, and timetabling in family or civil forums, and manage communication between the client and institutions such as police, local authorities, dioceses or parishes.

Tagged solicitor Emma Wheelhouse

Emma took on my historic child abuse case and worked diligantly, with care and compassion, to achieve a substantial sum of money for me. But it was never about the money, it was about being heard and believed, and being able to get justice from the organisation who left me in danger! It was closure and healing at the same time. Emma (and team) worked on my case for quite a few years, no stone went unturned, and was very thorough and professional. She really listened to me, and understood where I was and what i wanted to achieve. And she did this and so much more! I cant thank Emma and Thompsons enough for their professionalism and for the outcome I received, and I highly recommend her. It is not a short process, and requires much patience, but well worth the wait! Thank you Emma :)
