Court Fee Rise for Care Proceedings
May 18, 2009
In May 2008 the Government increased the fees local authorities have to pay to take court proceedings to protect abused children and take them into care. The fees rose from £150 to £4800 per case. We helped to co-ordinate an MP lobbying campaign to question the Government’s rationale, particularly in the light of the distressing Baby P case, and Jonathan Wheeler gave an interview live on Sky News on 18th November 2008 to publicise this problem.
