The MyHMCTS public law application online service may be used to apply for care orders and interim care orders, supervision orders and interim supervision orders, emergency protection orders and other orders under Part IV of the Children Act 1989.

Guidance has previously been issued for respondent legal representatives, see: How to respond to a family public law order application.
