What are Care Proceedings?

These are Court proceedings brought by the Local Authority to obtain court orders to protect children. The most common order applied for by the Local Authority is a Care Order which if granted gives the Local Authority parental responsibility for a child and so enables the Local Authority to remove a child from their parents.
