At Madden & Finucane, we provide legal support and representation in all public law proceedings involving children, including care and supervision orders initiated by social services. A supervision order allows a local authority to monitor a child’s welfare while the child remains at home or resides elsewhere.

Under this order, a designated social worker is appointed to advise, assist, and befriend the child, offering support to the wider family to address concerns and promote the child’s well-being.
A care order grants the local authority parental responsibility, allowing it to make key decisions about the child’s care, including where the child should live. This may involve placement with foster carers, in residential care, or with extended family.
We act swiftly to protect your rights and ensure that your voice is heard in all proceedings concerning your child. Early legal advice is essential to achieving the best possible outcome.
