Child Care Client
A child and family assessment is one of the first steps social services may take if concerns are raised about a child’s safety, welfare, or development. The assessment looks at the child’s needs, the parents’ ability to meet those needs, and whether additional support or intervention is required.
In this blog, we’ll explore a childcare case shared by Ruth, who represented children in family court. This case reflects the importance of appropriate support and keeping children's best interests at heart.
A care order does not remove the parent’s parental responsibility, but gives the local authority shared responsibility in making important decisions for the child.
In a recent appeal case, the Court of Appeal clarified whether adoption orders can be set aside when adoptive placements break down.
