Position

Dylan regularly acts for Local Authorities, parents and children’s guardians in all aspects of public law children cases. Of these clients more than often Dylan acts on behalf of children’s guardians and separately represented children. He has also acted for interveners in both care order and placement order applications – in particular for foster carers who are pursuing placement by way of SGO or Child Arrangement Order in opposition to the Local Authority plans and for interveners in fact finding hearings.

Dylan has particular interest in the more complex and difficult public law cases. Cases such as Factitious Induced Illness cases, Somatisation disorder, NAHI cases, Non-accidental injury cases, sexual abuse allegations (both current and historic) and cases that involve placements out of the jurisdiction. Dylan has attracted in recent years an increasing number of cases involving sensitive management and advice e.g. Cases which affect Local Authority policy and the decisions of senior management or cases where he is asked to represent parties with serious mental health or behavioural problems.
