Support with the children's social care process

Find out about support if you have contact with children's social care

Referrals are only made to Children’s Social Care when there is evidence of risk, not because you are a care leaver. If your child is known to children's social care, your personal adviser can help you with this. This can include supporting you in meetings.

If an assessment is needed, we will make sure you receive fair treatment, and that your rights are respected.

Your personal adviser will make sure that:

  • your opinions are heard
  • you understand what is happening
  • you understand what plans are in place

Whatever the situation, we will support you in building and maintaining a relationship with your child.
