Timothy Colley

Caseworker

I am a Caseworker in the Child Care team based in the City of London office and I work under the supervision of Director, Alia Lewis. Since joining the team, I have been representing parents in Child Protection matters from the Public Law Outline (PLO) process through to Care proceedings, initiated by Local Authorities when there are concerns for a child’s welfare. It is incredibly important for parents to receive robust legal advice, with an empathetic approach, at what is a very difficult time. My work encompasses advising parents in relation to all aspects of child care law, which often includes: section 20 agreements, section 47 investigations, concerns around substance misuse, mental health, learning difficulties, neglect, child abuse, maintaining contact with children in care and placement orders. I also assist on cases involving private child arrangements matters, Special Guardianship Orders (SGOs), Deprivation of Liberty Orders (DOLs), and non-accidental injuries.
