Family Rights Group’s councillors’ network is a partnership for change with local councillors from all parties to improve outcomes for children and support for parents and kinship carers.
Local councillors with responsibility for children’s social care drive the agenda in their local child welfare system. They set the vision and shape the culture of their localities, determine local priorities and drive change in local services and decision-making.
At Family Rights Group, we are working with councillors as partners for change in the child welfare system. Together we are working to ensure the child welfare and family justice systems supports children to live safely and thrive within their family, while strengthening the family and community networks of those children who cannot live at home.
Family Rights Group has substantial experience working with families, practitioners, academics, local authorities and the courts to pioneer innovative approaches to child welfare. We are keen to share our knowledge, advice and ideas on improving children’s social care and delivering better outcomes for children.
