Dear Scraggy 2021,

I can see that you would have already been to court for the hearing. Please accept my apologies for the late response to your post.

During care proceedings there are hearings that deal with questions such as what evidence will be needed (like expert reports or updating parenting assessments) and how a case will be managed in court.
Here is information about the different types of hearings that take place.

Are you getting the support you need to help you with your parenting skills? Here is
information about the type of support that could help.

You said that you do not have an advocate to help you. Speak to your solicitor and social worker about getting an advocate to help you at court or even with meetings with your solicitor.

If you have any questions, please post again or call our confidential advice line on 0808 801 0366.

Best wishes,
Suzie
