Care Proceedings Solicitors Canterbury

If your children, or those of a family member, have been taken into the care of Social Services you’ll want to do all you can to bring them home or, at the very least, to have them placed with a trusted family member until you are ready and able to create the home that you would wish for them.

What are Care Proceedings?

Care proceedings are court proceedings issued by the Local Authority where an application is made for an Order in respect of a child. If the Local Authority believe a child is at risk of significant harm, they can apply to the court for permission to take action to protect the child.
