Childcare
We cover all areas of children's public law including safeguarding and adoption.
A high level of experience in the specialised area of public childcare law is a key feature of the childcare team.
In addition, our individual members demonstrate a high level of commitment and dedication to their roles.
We have excellent working relationships with the local Court, judiciary and CAFCASS service and are highly respected within the legal community.
We have experience of working for other local authorities, having taken on conduct of several care proceedings cases for a neighbouring county council. The level of service provided by the team has been subject of praise from the client.
Our major client is Lincolnshire County Council's Children's Services directorate, judged by Ofsted to be an outstanding authority.
Professionals within this area carry responsibility for statutory safeguarding and regulated services in relation to children living in Lincolnshire and the team provides a high quality legal service in respect of those functions.
