Type of Work/Specialism: I specialize in UK to Republic of Ireland cross-border placements, helping ensure that children and families receive the necessary support and services when placements cross these two jurisdictions. My focus is on navigating the legal, social, and cultural complexities of such cases, ensuring that placements meet the welfare and best interest of the child. I work closely with both UK and Irish authorities to facilitate smooth transitions, ensuring compliance with legislation and safeguarding measures in both countries. Through my experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges that arise in cross-border family law and child protection cases.
