Do you need legal advice on an issue affecting your child or family?

We do operate a limited intensive support telephone line for complex matters and clarifying questions. The demand for this line is high and the funding we have in place is limited thus we are only able answer a limited number of calls. We would therefore ask you to carefully read through all the relevant available data provided on this website and only contact our intensive support telephone line with genuine, clarifying questions on the information provided.

The advice line is staffed from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and a voicemail service is available outside these hours.

Please note that we can only advise residents of England, and cannot advise you if you have a Solicitor acting for you, or your matter is in relation to criminal law.

Please read our terms and conditions . and tips on using our helpline.
