If authorities become concerned about the safety or wellbeing of a child, the local authority may start a process known as ‘care proceedings’. They may also make a care order for the child which means that the local authority will have responsibility for the child, making decisions about their welfare – such as where they live and who cares for them.
For families involved in care proceedings, it can be a confusing and stressful time – particularly if you don’t agree with the decisions that the authorities are making. At QualitySolicitors we help families through the care proceedings process. Our experienced family law solicitors will explain what’s happening at every step of the way, in simple terms that are easy to understand. We can also accompany you to meetings and provide the support you need if the case goes to court.
If your child is taken into care, we can help you understand what will happen next. We’ll explain how your child will be cared for and let you know what rights you and your child have.
If you are worried about care proceedings, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our friendly and approachable solicitors will put you at ease and answer any concerns you may have. Plus, with our free initial assessment promise, you can get answers quickly with no obligation, so call us today on 0208 5324884.
You undoubtedly expect life’s daily routine to run smoothly, but sometimes dealing with other people, commercial businesses and public organisations doesn’t go to plan. If so, then don’t suffer on your own; you have consumer rights that are there to support you, which means taking legal advice can often help resolve issues whenever you feel badly done to.
When adults have special care needs, the local authority is often responsible for providing community care services to help support the individual in their daily life. Community care services can include services provided in your own home, or at another location within the community.
As consumers, most of us buy goods and services from companies on a daily basis. And it’s right to expect these to reach an acceptable standard. When they do not, you have legal rights as a consumer to protect you.
In today’s modern world, many companies hold sensitive information about individuals – from bank details and contact information to medical information. Whilst companies may need this information to provide us with services or employment, they have a duty to ensure that our information is not misused or shared with the wrong people.
Public authorities hold a vast amount of information on a wide range of topics. The Freedom of Information Act gives the public the right to access this information. This means you have the right to ask any public sector organisation to provide all of the recorded information they hold on any particular subject.
As humans, we have particular rights that ensure we can expect to live and be treated in certain ways. These human rights are protected by law. Examples of human rights in the UK include the right to life, the right to an education and the right to a fair trial.
When you ask a professional for advice, that’s what you expect. But what if that advice causes you problems or losses? Surveyors, architects, solicitors and accountants are all bound by professional standards and owe you a duty of care and skill. So, if there advice is negligent you have the right to make a claim, and that’s where we can help.
