Legal Aid for PLO and Pre-Proceedings Letters: What Parents Need to Know
This type of legal aid is often referred to as ‘No Means, No Merit’—which means you qualify regardless of income or the strength of your case. It covers both advice and legal representation at court, even before proceedings are formally issued.
If you receive a ‘letter before proceedings’ (also known as a PLO letter or pre-proceedings letter) from the local authority, and you have parental responsibility, you are automatically entitled to legal aid. This allows a solicitor to provide legal advice, correspond and negotiate with social services, and attend the pre-proceedings meeting on your behalf.

Legal Aid for Respondents and Intervenors in Care Proceedings
However, if you are a respondent or intervenor invited into care proceedings without parental responsibility—such as a grandparent, relative, partner, or third party accused of causing harm—then your legal aid will be subject to both means and merits assessments. The Legal Aid Agency will consider your income and your likelihood of success. Legal aid in these cases is not guaranteed and is subject to ongoing review. Both you and your solicitor must keep the Legal Aid Agency updated on any changes.
Transferring Legal Aid to ASA Solicitors
If you are not satisfied with your current legal representation—whether due to poor communication, lack of progress, or a breakdown in trust—you are entitled to transfer your case, along with your legal aid, to ASA Solicitors. This process can be handled quickly and efficiently without disrupting your case.
