Welcome to the National Children's Services and Education Group of LLG
This is a national group made up of local authority child care practitioners from all over England and Wales.
We want to be a voice for local authority child care lawyers. We seek to link up with all our regional SAA's / SIG's in order to share good practice, contribute to government and judicial consultations and generally act as a source of advice and support. We also want to promote the establishment of regional SAA's / SIG's where none exist at present.
To join any of the national groups go to "My LLG" hub and "My national interest groups" tab where you can also see the groups that you are a member of.

The note further highlights a number of anomalies in current legal aid provision and sets out proposals for reform.
