Family Rights Groups are a national charity that advises parents, grandparents, relatives and friends about their rights and options when social workers or courts make decisions about their children’s welfare. They work with parents whose children are in need, at risk or are in the care system and with wider family members and friends who are raising children (known as kinship carers).Their expert advisers are all experienced lawyers, social workers or family rights advocates. They help families to understand the law and child welfare processes and their rights and options. And to better understand social work concerns. They campaign for families to have their voice heard, be treated fairly and get help early to prevent problems escalating. You can visit their website for easy-to-follow, online advice. Features include an A-Z, FAQs, films, ‘top tips’ and legal advice sheets. You may also want to visit the advice forums, where parents and kinship carers (also known as family and friends carers) can get legal and practical advice on the child welfare system. They also operate a Freephone Telephone Advice Line – 0808 801 0366 which is available Monday to Friday 9.30am to 3pm. Textphone: If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired – please dial 18001 and then 0808 801 0366.
