How to contact us for advice
We provide advice to parents, grandparents, relatives, friends and kinship carers who are involved with children’s services in England or need their help. We can help you understand processes and options when social workers or courts are making decisions about your child’s welfare.
Our advice service is free, independent and confidential.
To speak to an adviser, please call our free and confidential advice line 0808 801 0366 (Monday to Friday 9.30am to 3pm, excluding Bank Holidays). For Textphone dial 18001 followed by the advice line number. Or you can ask us a question via email using our advice enquiry form.
Our online advice forums are an anonymous space where parents and kinship carers (also known as family and friends carers) can get legal and practical advice, build a support network and learn from other people’s experiences.
Our get help and advice section describes the processes that you and your family are likely to go through, so that you know what to expect. Our webchat service can help you find the information and advice on our website which will help you understand the law and your rights.
Family Rights Group hosted an evening of talks, performances and conversation curated and led by young people, parents and kinship carers with lived experience of the child welfare system in tandem with practitioners and senior children’s services leaders.
Family Rights Group’s parents’ and kinship carers’ panel members worked together to create this event. It was an opportunity to showcase the experiences of people who have been involved with the child welfare system, through creative storytelling. The evening challenged assumptions and highlighted what needs to change within the child welfare system. Critically it also focused upon the benefits of effective partnership working between families and the state in the interests of children.
Participants drew upon skills learnt in workshops run by SoundDelivery in partnership with Family Rights Group.
This event has been supported by Lankelly Chase Foundation.
