Before sending a 'letter before proceedings' the Local Authority social services department may invite you to a meeting to consider if your children should be made subject to a Child Protection Plan or a Child in Need Plan.
You should always attend those meetings but before the meeting takes place you should seek advice from a solicitor who is experienced in these sorts of cases and you may be entitled to free legal advice.
Your solicitor might also be able to attend those meetings to support you and to ensure that the Local Authority is acting appropriately in making their decisions, especially in relation to the terms of any Written Agreement that they may ask you to sign.

The Public Law Outline ('PLO') pre-proceedings meeting is NOT just another meeting with children's services or a social worker.
It's a really important part of the process the local authority uses to decide whether or not to go to court about your child.
The aim of the PLO meeting is to discuss what you can do to look after your child better and what help your local authority will give you.
If you agree some changes, these will be written down in a formal agreement that you and the local authority have to follow.

Urgent access to the child is required by the Local Authority for the purposes of conducting statutory enquiries under the Children Act 1989 and that access is being unreasonably refused to a person authorised to seek such access.
The child's welfare is the Court's paramount consideration in deciding whether an EPO should be made and the Court must not make the Order unless doing so would be better for the child than making no Order at all.
An EPO should be the last and not the first resort due to its serious consequences for the child and the Order should be both necessary and proportionate and the least interventionist solution consistent with the child's immediate safety.
