What we do
Barnardo's has been commissioned to deliver Advocacy, Independent Visitors and Mentoring for Blackburn with Darwen. The service will support children in care and care leavers to help them through key issues and ensure that their voices are heard. The service can also support children and young people who are on child protection plans.
We can help with
- One-to-one support for looked-after children and young people and other vulnerable young people e.g. those on a child protection plan focused on their right to be heard and involved in decisions about them, explaining their wishes, arguing their case. Activities and training for families and professionals.
