    How can we help?

    What is Parent Advocacy?

    The overall aims of Parent Advocacy are:

    • to reduce the numbers of children entering the care system
    • to keep families together.

    Parent advocacy provides voice and choice to parents, by supporting parents to navigate the child protection system, and to be fully involved in the decision-making processes.

    The role of the Parent Advocate

    Parent Advocates

    • Work under instruction from parents
    • Do not offer advice or opinion and never take action without the consent of the parent
    • Do not make judgements or decisions on behalf of a parent.

    What we do
