The additional guidance for Legal Procedures is in Local Resources and can be found here. It includes template documents to be used through the legal process including pre-proceedings, proceedings and private law documents.

The purpose of this guidance is to act as an aid in supporting practice in respect of pre-proceedings and public law applications. Templates, relevant information and guidance have been collated together to assist social workers through the public law outline process and private law when the Local Authority have been court ordered to complete a report.
