Our 2024 Impact Report is out!

 

In 2024, we experienced a 130% surge in legal enquiries as families and children faced increasingly complex and distressing challenges. Our service is crucial for the effective implementation of children’s rights and ensuring equitable access to justice.

🔹 Parental Responsibilities and Rights made up more than half of all enquiries. 🔹 Other key issues include child protection and ensuring the views of the child.

🎯 Impact on children, young people and families

  • 93% felt clearer about their rights after receiving advice
  • 88% gained confidence in handling their situation
  • 73% were very satisfied with the support provided

📚We also hosted:

  • 6 training sessions for schools and charities
  • 3 masterclasses on children’s rights

Our work highlights the urgent need to remove barriers to justice, improve legal aid access, and ensure children’s voices are heard in policy design.

We are deeply grateful to the volunteers, partners, and funders whose support makes this possible. Together, we advocate for systemic change and equitable access to justice for all children.
