Child Care Proceedings

Child Care Solicitor Liverpool, Halton & Cheshire: Navigating care proceedings is a stressful and complex process and can seem very overwhelming. While it may seem like an extreme intervention by the state, Local Authorities have a duty to children if they have concerns that the child is at risk. The local authority should only make a formal care application where there is a significant risk of harm or a likelihood of harm to the child.

When this happens it is extremely stressful for the family involved and they need to seek immediate legal advice. We understand that the welfare of the child is the priority and our team has extensive experience of dealing with these matters in a sensitive and compassionate way. Our aim is if at all possible to avoid the instigation of proceedings and we will provide you with advice and support every step of the way.

We have offices in Liverpool, Halton and Cheshire and are well placed to offer assistance across the north west.
