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.

I cannot thank Ms. Charmaine Stobie at LKW Solicitors enough for her exceptional support during the past six months of my two years ongoing family court case as Pursuer for contact with my daughters. Ms Stobie and Mss Wall combined advocacy, representation provided better very needed outcomes initial motions was initiated. Ms Opemipo Yusuf support, guide and advise to present best my case helped me to communicate more efficiently. More recently, Ms Stobie advocacy is already having a profound and positive impact on my children’s lives and their rights but also on my health and wellbeing. Ms Stobie exceptional qualities combine legal expertise with genuine care, advocating with precision, compassion, and determination.

Tagged solicitor Deborah Bailey
Deborah was a pleasure to deal with honest and upfront in regards to my divorce and the pitfalls I had to face, her professionalism shone through from the moment I met her (previous experience had). I highly recommend Gowen and Stevens especially Deborah Bailey whom I can only praise. I give a special mention to the other voice behind the phone Caroline whom was always helpful, pleasant with nothing being a problem I would say you spoke with a smile. Thankyou both for your help.
