She regularly represents parents, children and local authorities and has undertaken work for CAFCASS Legal and the Official Solicitor. Penny’s experience includes cases involving the multiple deaths of children, serious injury including “baby shaking”, and fictitious illness.
She also has considerable experience of High Court applications for press injunctions to prevent the publication of sensitive personal material arising out of care proceedings.
