It can extend to physical, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse. It can include behaviour such as restricting access to money, to family members or to cultural support, or limiting social independence.

LATEST NEWS FROM LEE
In conjunction with Variety - The Children's Charity, Brydens Lawyers has implemented an information and education program for parents and carers of children facing chronic illness, disability or special needs.
The presentation is focused upon succession planning, that is putting into place arrangements so as to ensure the continuing care, maintenance and education of the child after the parents or carers have passed. It is a particularly delicate subject, often considered
