The team at Wollens Solicitors, led by experienced specialist Rachel Carter, is dedicated to exclusively defending parents accused of harming their child in care proceedings. Allegations of non-accidental injury (NAI) often initiate a daunting legal process, leaving parents uncertain about how to navigate accusations of physical abuse, understand the care proceedings system, and select the right solicitor.

NAI covers a range of injuries or abuse, including fractures (rib, skull, or long bone), bruising, smothering, poisoning, shaken baby syndrome, head injuries, torn frenulums, and, in some cases, infant death. Investigating such allegations requires a detailed examination of factors like the timing and nature of the injury, the force required to cause it, and whether the injury was caused naturally, accidentally, or non-accidentally. Rare medical conditions such as Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bones), Rickets (vitamin D deficiency), or bleeding disorders can mimic signs of abuse and must be considered carefully.

In these cases, social services often become involved, and the Local Authority may initiate care proceedings. Seeking legal advice early is critical. Wollens provides expert legal support, offering thorough case analysis, access to specialist resources, and robust representation for parents facing these serious and life-altering allegations.
