Dealing with Child Protection Matters

Our Family department has years of experience of dealing with child protection matters, acting for guardians and parents and assisting schools.  We can:

  • advise on social services investigations, including share of, and access to, information about children
  • advise on the legal effect and implications of both private (residence and contact) and public (care and interim care) orders
  • manage media interest in child protection cases, particularly where it impacts on the welfare of the child
  • advise schools on the application of reporting restrictions in child protection cases.
