Services
If Social Services become involved with your children it is vital that you obtain legal advice as soon as possible.
In some cases practical legal advice at an early stage could help avoid your children being placed in foster care and help avoid Court proceedings.
In some cases if the Local Authority are considering care proceedings they will give you a pre-proceedings letter setting out their concerns.
If you receive such a letter it is important that you let us have it as soon as possible so that we can arrange to attend a meeting with the Local Authority to see if matters can be resolved without Court proceedings.

When the Local Authority receive a referral from somebody who is concerned about the care that your child is receiving it will decide whether to allocate the case to a Social Worker and whether it is necessary to undertake an initial assessment of you and your family.
If the Local Authority consider that your child is a 'child in need' there may be a further core assessment and the preparation of a child in need plan which will be reviewed regularly at child in need review meetings.
If the Local Authority have safeguarding concerns it could arrange a strategy discussion, undertake a section 47 enquiry and convene a child protection conference.
