Family Rights Group [FRG] supports families involved with social services by:

—advising families who are involved with social services [we run a national telephone advice service]

—working with families, practitioners, researchers and policy makers to promote policies and practice that support families and meets the needs of children.

—undertaking research projects to promote better practice.

We are in contact with birth parents and relatives who have lost children to adoption and parents and families who are still going through this process. We also work with birth relatives who have taken on the long term care of a child who cannot live with their birth parents, with adoptive parents who experience difficulty in receiving services for their adopted children, and with foster carers.
