The Children’s Rights and Advocacy Service is an independent advice and support service for children and young people in care, care leavers and children subject to child protection in Wokingham

  • We have a children's rights & advocacy officer who has a confidential phone line
  • We will work with you confidentially but if you tell us something that might hurt you or someone else, we will have to tell someone
  • The children's rights & advocacy officer will talk to you about who needs to be told and make sure you know what is going on

Other people can contact the service on a child's behalf. This could be a social worker, teacher or carer.
