At GT Stewart Solicitors we we recognise the insidious and negative effect of inequality and discrimination. We are passionate not only about protecting the rights of our clients, but the rights of the wider public too. Many of our lawyers are involved in different capacities outside of their day-to-day case work, advocating for fairness, due process and the Rule of Law.

Recently we have put together a page on our website to try and bring together as best we can, all the available information about the Suspect Inflicted Head Injury Service (SIHIS). This is a new pilot scheme funded by the Department for Education which could impact upon the Article 6 and Article 8 Rights of families involved in family law care proceedings, where Non-Accidental Injuries (NAI) and Non-Accidental Head Injuries (NAHI) are alleged to have occurred.

Whether you are a legal practitioner or professional involved in public law family work, or a member of the public that is going through care proceedings, or you know someone that is, we encourage you to take the time to consider the information we have put together.

There is a Q&A information section as well as links to legal news articles by senior family law practitioners, speaking out and raising their concerns, including one of our partners here at GT Stewart Solicitors.
