Children’s Rights Services

We offer children and young people an independent visitor and/or an advocate.

Independent Visitors are volunteers who meet with children and young people on a regular basis to offer support and engage in fun activities they choose together. 

Advocates help to empower children and young people – they make sure that their rights are respected and that their views and wishes are reflected in decision-making about their own lives.
