Child Care

As a parent, guardian, or family member you want the best for your child. And, in Public Law proceedings surrounding the care of your child, we do too.

Our Child Care law specialist solicitors are recognised nationally, and are here to support and empower parents and families by providing the very best legal advice during the toughest of times.

Child Care Law Specialists Who Care

Working together, we’ll ensure you are fairly represented and guide your understanding of how the law may affect you when dealing with private family matters or the involvement of Social Services.

Emergency Protection Orders

An Emergency Protection Order is applied for in exceptionally serious circumstances, when there are reasonable grounds for believing there is immediate risk of significant physical, mental or emotional harm to a child.

It is most likely that the Local Authority will have applied for the emergency protection order.

We advise and represent parents, other family members, children and Children’s Guardians when an Emergency Protection Order has been initiated, providing professional support throughout all proceedings related to your case.

Care Orders

When concerns are raised about the safety of a child or children in their home, a care order, or interim care order, gives a local authority shared parental responsibility for children, until the court can make a final decision about their best interests.

If you’re a family member concerned about a Care Order, or want to apply for contact with your child, or children, in care, Nyland & Beattie Solicitors have an outstanding reputation for our handling of Child Law cases.
Our expert lawyers will oversee your case with sensitivity, offering representation in appeals against or a discharge of a care order, and supporting you in making any formal complaints.

Child Protection Conferences

Following a local authority investigation into concerns surrounding a child, it is necessary to call a Child Protection Conference to ensure a plan is put in place to keep that child, or children, safe.

The Family Law solicitors at Nyland and Beattie, provide legal advice and representation to parents and extended family members, like grandparents, attending a Child Protection Conference, ensuring you are aware of your rights and supporting you in making the best decisions for your family.
