Any local authority childcare lawyers on here?

[CheshireSplat]

I've been re-evaluating my career recently and have come to the decision that my work (in-house private sector) is basically bullshit and I want to do something good with my work. I have no experience of local authority work but my skills may be transferable. I'd be happy starting at the bottom and would have to learn on the job.

Are there any LA childcare lawyers on here who could give me an insight into their jobs before I start exploring this in real life? Do you have job satisfaction? How do you deal with the work load and trauma that you see?

Many thanks.

Someone I know (from our all-girls school) does this. She has male pattern hair loss. And she's very tough.

I moved into LA childcare law from a completely different practice area. It was what I always wanted to do but drifted in a different direction. Then I had a midlife crisis, applied for a job and got it. Fairly new to it but I'm loving it. Never bored, very well supported and I feel privileged to be doing it. Feel free to DM me. I've never had a DM on here before.

You have to be quite emotionally resilient. Work life balance is good. It is interesting and satisfying, but a bit monotonous sometimes. Depending how much advocacy you do there may not be much law law.
