SKD Law represents parents and children involved in the child protection system. 

Child protection laws delineate the responsibilities of individuals, institutions, and agencies in safeguarding children, and provide mechanisms for intervention and support when their welfare is at risk.These laws are pivotal in ensuring the safety, well-being, and development of children, who are among the most vulnerable members of society.

SKD Law can help you:

• Clarify the rights and responsibilities of parents and caregivers.
• Detail the role and responsibilities of child and family services.
• Describe the procedures for investigation, intervention, and support services.
• Specify who is required by law to report suspected child abuse or neglect.
• Balance parental rights with the need to protect children.
• Outline the process for reporting and the protections offered to reporters.
• Define circumstances under which parental rights may be limited or terminated.

One of the most memorable career milestones that Sukham has achieved in her child protection practice include bringing a successful Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms where the Court found that Child and Family Services breached the father's section 7 and 8 Charter rights: H.L.H.
