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 believe that the Care Review has been an important opportunity to influence proposals for change across the child welfare system in England. We engaged with the Review, seeking to influence its recommendations, including through contributing evidence and sharing insight from our services and legal and policy experience. We held a series of policy seminars which fed into the Review. We also worked to ensure the Review hears the voices and experiences of mothers, fathers and kinship carers involved with the child welfare system.
In February 2023, the Government published their response to the Review’s recommendations in an implementation strategy document called Stable Homes, Built on Love. See our response to that here
