About this title

Synopsis:

Since the implementation of the Children Act 1989, the law has focused on the child when a family finds itself in crisis. Consequently, the guardian ad litem, the person who represents the interests of the child in specified proceedings, has moved centre stage. His or her reports are valued highly by the courts, who place great reliance on their objectivity and independence. However, as a result of the Act, the demands made upon the guardian ad litem have become increasingly complex. This book sets out in detail the role of the guardian ad litem, providing a definitive blueprint for every guardian who wishes to ensure not only that every aspect of a case has been appropriately explored and reported, but also that such is properly and fully presented to the court.
