If for any reason the young person's birth family is unable to support to the young person then we can offer advocacy in order to make sure that their statement is independently received and that their voice is represented at any meetings.
We can either attend meetings on their behalf or if appropriate we can support the young person to attend the meeting themselves.
We will also make sure that the young person is kept fully informed of all events and all outcomes.
