Switalski's has a highly specialised Child Care Law Department which currently comprises six qualified Solicitors. They specialise in all aspects of Child Care Law.
If a Social Services Department is taking proceedings with a view to bringing children into foster care, or if the Social Services Department is considering such action, our lawyers can bring to bear their vast experience of representing mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, other relatives, foster carers and the children themselves. |

| In care proceedings, Legal Aid is available as of right to those with parental responsibility, so whether you are on income support or have just won the lottery, legal representation is free. It is important to be represented by those who understand the complexities of Social Services Departments and the Courts. Switalski's has five Solicitors who are members of the Law Society's Children Panel. This is a specialist panel of Solicitors accredited by the Law Society. |

| Our Solicitors are increasingly being instructed in r9.5 cases to act on behalf of children in private law proceedings. We bring to bear our experience and the advantage of being in a Firm with other publicly funded areas of work, notably asylum, when working in this field. |

|
| We are also instructed by young people in the care system who are looking for independent, straightforward advice. |
