In England, Social Services work covers safeguarding and welfare cases involving children and adults within local authority care services. A solicitor handles care proceedings, assessments, and safeguarding actions, including applications for interim orders, supervision, or discharge of care orders, and advocacy in related court hearings. They also advise on welfare matters, housing, and support plans, coordinating with local authorities, health bodies, and guardians to protect vulnerable people and secure appropriate care and support arrangements.
Solicitors bring professional accountability to safeguarding: they rely on regulated practice, professional conduct standards, and, when needed, representation in court. They ensure compliance with the Children Act 1989, safeguarding duties, and relevant guidance, while navigating professional standards, registered social care processes, and the protections afforded by client accounts and dispute resolution frameworks.

Mr Sheikh and his team have been tremendously supportive and helpful during our case. A specialist and high-level of legal knowledge was backed with sensitivity and honesty, providing clear information and explaining options carefully. Communication was timely and easy to understand. It was a great relief to know that we were in the hands of such a caring and effective professional. We felt fully supported throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Sheikh and Winckworth Sherwood to others. Thank you.
