A. If you are under 17 the police must call an appropriate adult to the police station i.e. your social worker or foster carer. In addition you have the right to ask for a solicitor. This is a free service. Appropriate adults and solicitors have different roles. The adult is there to support you and the solicitor is there to give you legal advice.

Bringing up children is never easy, but learning all about how to care for them is very exciting, especially for young females. Females tend to have more of a nurturing nature over males and therefore there is always going to be a fascination with babies from a young girls perspective.

A fun way to help girls understand the effort involved in managing babies and kids is through these fun care games which feature caring challenges where you look after babies and toddlers through to school children.

The games will help the players improve on their time management skills so that when it comes to the real thing they will have the skills needed to work under pressure successfully with their own kids.

Helping young girls and indeed young women grow accustom to these skills can help avoid poor care for the children which then avoids legal issues relating to improper care.

Q: Does it help if your solicitor is experienced? A: Yes. The more experienced your solicitor is, the more arguments and laws he or she will know to help you win your case. One example of an experienced Staffordshire solicitor is Cooks Solicitors in Newcastle-under-Lyme who have been established for over twenty years.

Q: If I want a choice of top law firms, which website should I use? A: There are a variety of sites out there, although we recommend this website which was set up specially to recommend top law firms and to be as helpful and informative to those seeking legal aid as possible.

Q: What is the best way to stay safe and not be a victim of crime? We recommend that to stop yourself being a crime victim that you hire a security guard company if you're a business, or use security equipment to protect your home. A key holding response system is a good idea, whereby a security firm secure your keys and respond to any alarms you have.

Q: I need a solicitor in the Surrey area. Do you have any recommendations? A: Morrisons solicitors in Surrey have been providing legal services for 300 years to Redhill, Woking, Wimbledon and Camberley, and are one of Surrey's leading solicitors. We highly recommend them.

If you are a self funder for care then it is well worth your time to sit with an independent financial adviser and discuss the options for paying for care paying for care whether that be at home or in residential care. There are some excellent products available that guarantee an income for the remainder of your lifetime.

One of the best methods of ensuring that your care fees are covered for the rest of your life is to purchase an annuity. A care fees annuity is underwritten on age, gender and health at the time of application. So if your health is particularly poor then the annuity rate will be significantly higher. There is the potential to add a loan option if the person requiring income is already in care, this option allows a loan against a property to purchase the care fees annuity.

If you don't know a solicitor you can ask for the duty solicitor. (The duty solicitor is independent and is nothing to do with the police).

If you are at all worried about what may happen ask for a solicitor. Even if you think you have done nothing wrong it is still a good idea to have a solicitor present at this early stage.

Q. Will I have to go to court?

A. The police may deal with your case without you having to go to court but if you are charged with an offence you will go to a special court known as a youth court.

Q. Could I go to prison?

A. You cannot be placed into custody in a youth offenders institution under the age of 15 unless you are found guilty of a very serious offence and have been in trouble lots of times.

If you are between 12-14 the Court could make a secure training order. This might happen if you have been in trouble a lot and have three convictions and have been on a supervision order which has been breached (where you have not done things that you were ordered to do) or you committed another offence while on a supervision order.

If you are over 15 you can go to a Young Offenders Institution. This is part of the prison service.
