Family Rights Group

Welcome to Family Rights Group. We are the charity in England and Wales that advises parents and other family members whose children are involved with or require social care services. We run a confidential telephone advice service for families.

Established as a registered charity in 1974, we work to increase the voice children and families have in the services they use. We promote policies and practices that assist children to be raised safely and securely within their families, and campaign to ensure that support is available to assist grandparents and other relatives who are raising children who cannot live at home.

Family-centered solutions -

changing child welfare policy and practice on the ground

17th-18th September 2008

Holiday Inn, Stratford-Upon-Avon, England

Family Rights Group is hosting a major international conference with key partners bringing together families, key policy makers, researchers and practitioners.

The conference will draw upon national and international research and practice to look at the principles underlying family-centred solutions, the evidence on whether such approaches work in enabling more children to live safely within their families, and if so, why.

The conference will examine different models of family-led practice including FGCs and will enable policy makers, managers and practitioners to consider ways to develop sustainable practices to meet children and their families’ needs.
