Children’s hearings

We understand that your children are the most important people in your life.

We recognise that children and young people can be referred to the Children’s Hearing system for a variety of reasons, and this can be a daunting time for both child and parent. You need a solicitor you can trust.

Fleming and Reid have long-standing experience attending Children’s Hearings and you can be assured that our specialists will always consider your child’s wellbeing as of the upmost importance and will do everything in our power to find the best resolution possible for you and your family.

We offer particular skills in opposing compulsory supervision measures. We regularly help persuade hearings decide where a child is to live or who the child should have contact with and when.

Have you been contacted by social work?

Is a children’s panel being arranged?

Have you been asked to go to court?

We are here to help you through this difficult time, and you can trust us to work with you in a professional and sensitive manner.

We also offer legal advice to children in a friendly and understandable manner. Our partners have young families and recognise the importance of communicating with children in an approachable and simplistic manner. We are also legal advisors to the Scottish Child Law Centre.
