## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Child Protection & Care Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/child-protection-and-care-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the care application, the department’s care plan, the evidence filed and the client’s recorded instructions, draft a position paper for the conference: the issues in dispute, what the client seeks, what the evidence supports and where it is weak, and a set of proposed terms for discussion, each cross-referenced to the record. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer settles what the client actually wants and will accept, rewrites the paper in their own judgement, removes anything that would disclose protected information or that the client has not authorised, and drafts any consent orders themselves. Conference material is confidential and must not be reused as evidence; the lawyer confirms the tool keeps no copy. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the care application, the department’s care plan, the evidence filed and the client’s recorded instructions, draft a position paper for the conference: the issues in dispute, what the client seeks, what the evidence supports and where it is weak, and a set of proposed terms for discussion, each cross-referenced to the record.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer settles what the client actually wants and will accept, rewrites the paper in their own judgement, removes anything that would disclose protected information or that the client has not authorised, and drafts any consent orders themselves. Conference material is confidential and must not be reused as evidence; the lawyer confirms the tool keeps no copy.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Before anything is relied on, confirm the material may lawfully go into the tool at all (approved tool, no retention or training), that no reporter identity or protected address has been exposed, and that the child cannot be identified from the output.
2. Check every factual statement against the page of the record it cites.
3. Confirm each proposed term against the client’s written or file-noted instructions.
4. Confirm the paper is marked confidential to the conference and kept out of any evidence bundle.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
