About Family Rights Group
Family Rights Group’s mission is to create a more socially just society in which the child welfare and family justice systems support children to live safely and thrive within their family, while strengthening the family and community networks of those children who cannot live at home.
The charity is in the second year of its bold 10-year vision for an effective child welfare system that puts children and families first. We have recently secured significant government and philanthropic funding in our family-led solutions to the children’s social care crisis, Lifelong Links and family group conferences (FGCs). We recently welcomed a new Patron – Sir Andrew McFarlane, past President of the Family Division of the High Court.
