Advising parents, families and children involved in child protection investigations

 

Representing parents, families and children in Adoption and Care cases

 

Advising children and the parents of children ‘in care’

We offer an initial free 30 minute interview.

The recent high profile cases of Angela Canning, Sally Clarke and Trupti Patel have shown that child protection investigations can touch families from all walks of life with the most serious of consequences. Public Children Law is a specialised field. At Wright & McMillan Bennett we have a regional reputation for this area of law, including the most complex of cases, often being appointed by the Court to act.

Solicitor Joanne Elliott has recently completed the case of A County Council v A Mother and A Father and X, Y and Z [2005] EWHC 31 (Fam), which involved allegations against a parent of munchausen’s syndrome by proxy.

Head of the Family Department solicitor Sarah Griffiths (Law Society Family Panel Member) enjoys a growing reputation for her expertise, representing parents throughout the region.

Managing Director and Solicitor Fay Wright (Law Society Children Panel Member) has a particular interest in

 

Adoption

 

Care Proceedings and social services involvement with children

 

Child Abduction

Fay is one of few solicitors to hold Higher Rights of Audience in Civil Proceedings. This is recognition of her skills and experience as an advocate and means that she can appear for clients in the High Court and above. Fay serves on the West Mercia Family Justice Council and on the committee of the Shropshire Child Care Group.
