Lawyers

At Just for Kids Law, we have lawyers working on these issues:

  • Community care: Our community care lawyers can help you access social services support and represent you in care proceedings.

Our housing, immigration and education legal services are now being managed by Coram Children's Legal Centre.  Please email any related enquiries or referrals to info@cormamclc.org.uk

Our School Exclusions Hub is also now being managed by Coram please follow this link to access the Hub.
