What processes should be adopted by local authorities after a letter before proceedings is issued?
Local authorities should aim to meet with the parents and their legal representatives as soon as possible after a letter before proceedings is issued. Any plan that is agreed at this meeting should also be communicated to the parents and their legal representatives after this meeting. The plan should be reviewed regularly and the safety of the child should be a paramount consideration in this. If at any point the risk to the child is such that court proceedings should be taken, then an application should be made immediately.
