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 has template letters, advice sheets and resources about legal and social care processes. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, you can use our webchat service to chat online to an adviser.
All our work is based upon promoting practice that is evidence based, focuses upon the welfare of the child and respects and values families. As an organisation, we combine expertise on research and policy development, with in-depth knowledge of the child welfare legal framework, and practice expertise as a service provider in the field of advocacy and advice. Families with experience of the child welfare system are directly involved in developing our resources and training courses.
Our courses and consultancy work are designed to be purchased by an individual agency or group of agencies. They can be varied or adapted to suit your needs. We provide the trainer(s) and training materials and you provide the venue (if delivered face to face) and participants. To discuss commissioning a course or consultancy work contact Pam Ledward pledward@frg.org.uk.
