Children and Social Services at Franklins Law

Have you been contacted by a social worker in respect of your children? Are you to attend a PLO meeting or court hearing for Care Proceedings?

Our team of dedicated Childcare lawyers understand the sensitive nature of the decisions that need to be made by you as parents when you are being faced with your child or children being removed from your care. At Franklins, we help parents put up a fight to keep your children in your care where possible.

We can advise you on your rights and highlight the different options available to you. We will represent you through free legal aid, taking away the added financial pressure.

If you have been issued with a letter from your local authority which invites you to a PLO meeting, please get in touch and we can discuss representing you throughout the process.

Similarly, if you have been informed that the local authority has issued or are going to issue Care Proceedings and a hearing has been or is due to be listed at the Family Court, we can help you throughout the course of the proceedings.

We offer tailored support, guidance, and advice throughout our time involved. We aim to provide you with the best representation possible, strongly arguing your case and putting forward all options that the Court should be mindful of in making decisions concerning a child’s permanent placement throughout their adolescence.
