Child protection proceedings are designed to protect children, but they can also be stressful and overwhelming for parents, grandparents and other family members.
Whether you have received notice that Child Protection is investigating your family, your child has been removed from your care, or you are required to attend court, obtaining legal advice early can make a significant difference.
Our solicitors provide clear advice tailored to your circumstances while working to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your child.
We will:
Child Protection receives information about concerns regarding a child’s safety or wellbeing.
Case workers may interview parents, children, schools or medical professionals.
The Department decides whether intervention is necessary.
If necessary, the Children’s Court considers applications relating to the child’s care and protection.
Orders may include reunification plans, supervision, or alternative care arrangements.
