What does the role involve?
Family court advisers have a number of roles relating to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and best interests of children in public and private law cases in family courts. They can act as children's guardians during care applications or applications for supervision orders, or in adoption cases where there is no parental consent.
In adoption cases where there is parental consent they can act as reporting officers, making sure that parents fully agree to the adoption.
They can also advise on the needs of children who have been separated from their families, while helping parents to resolve disputes about living arrangements for their children following separation and divorce.
