Three distinct legal roles

Services

The court order always defines the specific task. Child advocacy, guardianship and supplementary guardianship have different legal status and powers.

Image for Services

Child advocacy

Identify and represent the child’s interests in family-court proceedings, explain the process, hold meetings, submit reports and attend hearings.

Professional guardianship

Personal and legal responsibility for a minor within the scope defined by the court, including participation, representation, decisions and accountability.

Supplementary guardianship

Legal representation in a clearly defined part of parental responsibility or a specific matter.

Court appointment required

These roles are assumed through formal court appointment. A private enquiry may identify a need but cannot replace the court order.
