Advocacy Support:
We provide independent and confidential support to help children and young people to understand their rights and share their wishes and views, and to support in resolving specific issues such as, housing, financial entitlements or making complaints. We can also support children before and during child protection conferences, so their voice is heard and taken into account when decisions are made about their safety and care.

We can help with
- We provide one-to-one support for children and young people looked-after by their local authority. We also help other young people in need of support, such as those on a child protection plan. Our mental health advocacy services work with children and young people receiving or wanting mental health support. Children and young people have a right to be heard and involved in decisions about them, so we support them by explaining their wishes and arguing their case. We also provide activities and training for families and professionals.
