What is a Child Supervision Order?
A Child Supervision Order allows the Local Authority to assist and befriend the parents of the child and support them in providing appropriate parenting for the child. This often applies to cases where the parents need extra support and guidance in raising their child.
Will the Local Authority have Parental Responsibility over my child?
Unlike a Care Order, a Child Supervision Order does not give the Local Authority Parental Responsibility. The role of the Local Authority is simply to guide you as a parent and support with the child’s upbringing.
How long does an Order last?
An Order can last up to three years. It depends on the individual circumstances of the case and how well the child progresses.
What do I need to do next?
