Regrettably, some parents may find themselves in dispute with Social Services about the way in which they are looking after their children.
In some cases, Social Services may even want to take their children into Local Authority care, a distressing situation for any parent.
At Elliot Mather we have two solicitors who are members of the Law Society’s Children Panel, which recognises their expertise in this area of law. Membership of the Children Panel allows them to represent both parents and children in Care Proceedings.
We are in a position to fully advise you at all stages of any dispute with Social Services. We can support you at any Child Protection Case Conference called in respect of your children.
We can represent you in any Court Proceedings brought by the Local Authority seeking an order for your children to be taken into care (and in such cases legal aid is automatically available, without financial contribution, to parents of children who are the subject of Care Proceedings).
