Understanding Public Children Law. Protecting the Rights and Welfare of Children
Public children law covers cases where local authorities or government agencies become involved in the welfare of a child. At Mander Cruickshank Solicitors, our experienced family law team provides expert advice and representation for parents, guardians, and carers navigating this often complex area of law.
What Is Public Children Law?
Public children law focuses on situations where a child’s safety or welfare may be at risk. This can include cases involving:
- Child protection investigations by local authorities
- Care proceedings, where a court decides on the child’s living arrangements
- Supervision orders to support the child and family
- Emergency protection orders for immediate safeguarding
These cases are guided by the Children Act 1989, which prioritises the welfare of the child while balancing the rights of parents and families.
