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.
By setting up a regular donation, no matter how big or small, you become a member of our Supporters’ Network and receive 10% discounts on our publications, training courses and events, an invite to an annual stakeholders’ meeting, a regular e-newsletter and a copy of our annual review.
There has never been a greater demand for our service, nor greater pressure on our limited resources. Every supporter and any size of donation will make a significant difference, but it is the regular and consistent payments that provide continuing help to families in need of support. You are free to donate as much as you like, but this guide to how your donation can make a difference might help you decide on an amount.

Legacy giving is a thoughtful and generous way to support the work of Family Rights Group with families and children in need. It is the ultimate way to pass on something wonderful for generations to come. Even just a small donation can make a huge difference to the families we support.
We recommend that you consult a solicitor when considering making a legacy in your Will. They have the expertise to ensure your Will accurately reflects your wishes and takes into account current law.
There is also some helpful information on how to go about leaving a legacy here.
