If you are experiencing difficulties with the Social Services Department, we can provide specialist advice and assistance.

We will be able to arrange for you to be accompanied to meetings with the Social Services whenever necessary.

We have a number of experienced solicitors in the department who are members of the Law Society Children Panel and specialise in all aspects of the law relating to children.

We have considerable experience in representing parents, other family members and children within care proceedings.

You will find that our team is ready to provide you with high quality, sympathetic and speedy advice in this sensitive area of law.

We have a close working relationship with many other professionals in this field including barristers, child psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and children's guardians.

Public funding is available regardless of means to ensure that the wishes and views of all those with an interest in the welfare of the child is put before any court hearing any care proceedings.
