A survey shared exclusively with #5News has revealed tens of thousands of kinship carers are having to quit their jobs to care for children. 5 News' Chief Correspondent @tessa5news met one grandmother in County Durham who said "there was no support". @FamilyRightsGp

For 50 years we've influenced the child welfare system to support children & families to stay safely together. None of this would be possible without our supporters. We're excited to celebrate with a special film youtu.be/HCAa3Cf2_fQ #FRG50 #ActForKinshipCare #BuildNotBreak

Endorse this @YoungMindsUK quote "We're now in a mental health emergency & the government must get a grip on the scale of this crisis. Many young people are having to wait months & years to access help, while many others are told they don’t meet the threshold for a referral".

Morning, Twitter! As I sit on the Central Line mulling how best to please Lord Chancellor @AlexChalkChelt’s demand that lawyers keep quiet about politics, I thought I’d help report this transgressor. Some practising barrister in 2011 wanging on about human rights in The Times.

@NuffieldFJO It also highlights the lack of access to legal advice for the families of the children. In only 11.5% of cases were parents or carers legally represented for at least 1 hearing. @FamilyRightsGp's recent briefing sets out the need for legal aid reform: frg.org.uk/news-blogs-and…

This important and much needed report by @NuffieldFJO helps fill a gap in our knowledge and understanding of what is happening to the increasing number of children deprived of their liberty under the court's inherent jurisdiction 1/2

NEW REPORT New analysis of deprivation of liberty orders confirms many children are facing long and severe restrictions in unregistered placements far from home Read the full report: nuffieldfjo.org.uk/resource/legal…

The number of children Deprived Of their Liberty has been rising fast…in part because there aren’t sufficient Homes/Placements where they can be kept safe. Many people know very little about it…must be extremely hard for parents if this is in prospect and they have no lawyer to help & represent them
Family Rights Group@FamilyRightsGp

Our new briefing note explains legal aid provision where a child is, or may be, deprived of their liberty by the Family Court. It also sets out why legal aid reform is needed. Read on to learn more 👇
