Situations may arise where Social Services have concerns about the welfare of children which, if unresolved, can result in the issue of Care Proceedings and the possiblity of Care or Supervision Orders. The parents of such children are automatically entitled to Legal Aid Certificates, irrespective of family means. We can advise you fully on what is involved in such cases, which can obviously be a considerable source of worry and upset.
As well as representing the interests of parents, Christopher Lousley and John Walkington are members of the specialist Law Society's Children Panel and are accordingly qualified to represent any children involved, often through the Court-appointed Guardian.
