What is a Care Order?

It is a Legal Order made by the Family Court which gives the Local Authority (Social Services) Parental Responsibility.

Those with Parental Responsibility (PR) do not lose their PR; it is shared with the Local Authority.

If a Care Order is made the child/children may be placed in foster care or with family members/friends

If the Local Authority have mentioned going to court in relation to your child/children, contact our Family Team who are specialists in this area of law. 🙌

What is a Public Law Outline Meeting?

PLO is a meeting attended by parents/carers of children with their legal representatives.

Social services will explain what parent/carers need to do to address the concerns about the child/children.

If you have Parental Responsibility (PR) you are entitled to Legal Aid for a Solicitor to attend with you. Legal Aid for attending a PLO meeting is free and you do not have to pay regardless of your income.
