Children and Vulnerable Adults
We have vast expertise in acting for children and vulnerable adults who often do not have the mental capacity to instruct us themselves and instruct us through a Litigation Friend.
Children and vulnerable adults often rely more heavily on services provided by public bodies and our human rights team have experience in challenging a wide range of public bodies from local authorities, health authorities, and schools to Central Government Departments.
What the directories say
This is a very high quality team with an enormous hinterland of knowledge and experience.
