Top Tips for Judges Meeting Me

Listen to what I tell you.
Please read information about me before we meet to help you understand who I am.
Explain to me it if you might not be able to agree with what I want to happen.
Be honest and direct with me about what is possible / safe.
Help me to feel comfortable – remember I may feel nervous so please keep our meeting informal.
I might need to ask to meet with you more than once during the proceedings (at the beginning / in the middle / as part of the final hearing).
Try to make sure the care proceedings are sorted out faster, not delayed but also not rushed
