The lawyers who act for the Local Authority and the Guardian ad Litem are likely to have years of specialist experience; the parents' Solicitor may be a far more general practitioner and feel unnecessarily disadvantaged. This course examines the entire process.

It will include:

• * The Case Conference
• Emergency Protection Orders and other urgent remedies
• Part VI Family Law Act in Care Cases
• The Care application, the 'threshold criteria' and standards of proof
• Comprehensive assessment, Risk assessment and residential assessment
• Use of experts

• Contact with children in care
• Adoption and placement for adoption
