  • Grandparents – the current position;
  • Orders available to grandparents in private and public law proceedings;
  • Permission to file applications for court orders;
  • Acquisition of Parental Responsibility;
  • Contact with grandchildren in the care of the Local Authority
  • Special Guardianship Orders including discharge and variation applications;
