[Music] hello my name is Tim I'm a solicitor in the family legal aid department and Harrison solicitors Kuroda's are court orders which give the local authority social services or children's services parents responsibility for your children they don't take parental responsibilities away from you as a parent you keep that whilst whilst Rosa care order in place as well as a care order there should also be a care plan which sets out what the local authority think should happen to your children plus the Carol is in place so who they should live with and whether they should be having contact with the parents as well that can also be an interim care order made which is once court proceedings are going on whether it's an interim care order or full care order a legal test which is called the threshold test has to be met which means that the children have to be at risk or suffering and physical sexual emotional harm or neglect local authority makin applications take children's care when they're really worried about the safety and well-being of children they will make an application to the court and they will just try and persuade the court that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the children own risk of suffering significant harm that could be physical emotional sexual harm or neglect Pirlo stands for public law outline and PLO meeting is organized by social services when they've got significant worries about the care of your children they're really a last chance for social services to tell you what they're worried about and for you to try and make some improvements if improvements can't be made then the social services might take you to court and apply for an order in respective your children the hope is that you can see what concerns are and make improvements and then social services involvement will happen we could go away in the future a PLO meeting you have the right to legal aid and the Rattler solicitor so if you've got a letter through the post in baton into one of these Newtons you should contact us [Music] when caps II didn't start the local authority make an application to the court sometimes this is done with enough time for you to get some paperwork through the post and for us to discuss it with you well the times it happened very urgently I might have to discuss it with you at court that will start process which lasts about six months you should get to see your children in that time the local authority would have to make a specific application if they thought that you shouldn't see your children in that time if it was unsafe for any reason you will have to be ready though for that contact to be supervised or managed in some way if the court think that that's the only way to make it safe for you and the children to have contact together EPA stands for emergency protection order and they're only taken out in very urgent circumstances therefore if an EPO has been made you really need to contact us as soon as possible so we can really find out from sexual services what's going on and what their concerns are in respect of your children there is a similar thing which is and when the police take powers of protection in respect of your children again it's very urgent there will be an urgent court hearing and we really need to discuss with you what's going on so we can help you as best as we can [Music] when children in foster care you should still see your children if it's an interim order whilst court proceedings are still going on then you should see your children quite frequently though both Oaks you would have to make a specific application to stop you seeing your children all together if they thought that that was unsafe for any reason similarly when the local authority has a final care order at the end of court proceedings you should still have contact with your children the authority would have to say that it was unsafe for you to not have contact with your children at all [Music] busting interim care order is in place the child could live with you as your child's parents alternative care such as relatives or very close friends once they've been assessed or the child might be placed in temporary foster care at the end of court proceedings if a full care order is made then again the child could be returned to your care will be placed with alternative carers or family members or could be placed into long-term foster care the last resort when nothing else will do is that a child marketplace to adoption if their place for adoption and once adopted the child would have any contact with their birth parent [Music] a care order is only made when the threshold test is crossed which is the Jew decides that there has been or is a risk of your child sort of in significant harm so that could be physical emotional harm sexual harm or neglect the local authority applies to the court for an order and the court must be satisfied firstly that the threshold tech test has been met and secondly finished proportionate and justified for there to be a legal order in place it is possible for relatives and even close friends to care for your children within court proceedings and at the end of court proceedings the local authority will have to carry out an assessment of those people firstly they do a viability assessment and if that's positive they will then do a full kinship or alternative carers assessment so it is possible but it does take a while for these assessments to be done of course first priority is that children should be cared for by their parents or if that's not possible they will then look to all the family members and alternative carers you might be able to do so [Music] if you've been told by social workers but you're not allowed to see your children anymore you should really come in and see us so that we can see what the issues are and what the social workers are saying the risk factors are for them if there is a care order in place then there should be contact between you and your children the local authority would need a specific order from the court to stop that contact it really will depend upon what the specific issues are in your case and how contact can take place safely if you require any further information see it's called over one three to eight four five thousand or going to item house insisted website
