Thoroughly updated and revised, this authoritative book provides the official guide to best practice in public law Children Act cases.

The book can be used by solicitors acting in public law Children Act cases, whether they are acting for a local authority, a parent, or a child. It provides guidance on the conduct of cases and the particular approach required.

The guidelines are designed to ensure the child's interests are paramount throughout the conduct of a case and to raise standards of conduct. This edition has been comprehensively updated to take account of developments including the introduction of the Public Law Outline, and changes to Children Act Guidance in the revised Statutory Guidance.
