PUBLIC LAW PROCEEDINGS/CARE ORDERS

Social Services Departments in the country have a duty under the law protect children and are therefore obliged to step in and apply for an interim care order in order to protect a child in situations where they discover that a parent is unable to look after a child for a number of personal reasons and that he/she has directly or indirectly left that child at significant risk of harm and danger. In other cases, Social Services may have applied for a Care Order without sufficient evidence, and you would like your child to be returned to your care. Shaddai & Co. can assist and represent you if your child has been the subject matter of a care order and Emergency Protection Order proceedings.
