Permanence work covers long‑term plans for a child’s welfare when placement outside the birth family is intended or necessary, including long‑term care, arrangements for guardianship, and steps toward formal permanence such as adoption or special guardianship. A solicitor in this area handles applications to the family courts to secure a stable, lasting arrangement, drafts and negotiates required orders, and represents the client at court hearings and in disclosures with social services and the local authority. The focus is on securing a secure, lawful outcome for a child, with attention to the child’s best interests and future stability.
Permanence matters hinge on critical, time‑sensitive decisions that shape a child’s long‑term welfare. A solicitor helps with applications for permanence orders, special guardianship, and adoption; reviews care arrangements and fosters contact requirements; engages with local authorities, guardians ad litem, and Cafcass where relevant; and drafts or negotiates court orders and finalised plans to protect the child’s future.

Top service, made my process as painless as it can be, with little to no stress. Quick to reply to any emails or problems. Not living local to MCT Solicitors made no difference to my level of service.

Tagged solicitor Karen Simone Dovaston
I had the luxury of having Karen as my solicitor. She was amazing from beginning to end. Karen made me feel comfortable and at ease all of the time. No matter my questions, I never felt silly asking them. Karen would always respond in a respectful manner and would always respond and never leave me hanging.
