Care Proceedings

Care proceedings are instigated by the local authority when there is concern over the welfare of a child.

The effect of these proceedings can be both drastic and long-term, with the Court having powers to remove a child from their home and make Care Orders, Emergency Protection Orders, Supervision Orders and orders for Adoption.

We are one of the few remaining law firms in the South West (and the only firm in Radstock and Midsomer Norton) now able to offer public funding (legal aid) to parents, other persons with parental responsibility for a child or those invited to intervene into care proceedings.
