National Youth Advocacy Service

At NYAS we are all about standing up for children and young people’s rights, making sure their voices are heard and that they get the help and support they need. We are very aware this is currently an unsettling and worrying time for children, young people and their families.

We are here for you.

Help you to UNDERSTAND what's going on around you. LISTEN to you. BE independent and work only for YOU. Inform you of your RIGHTS. Support you have your VOICE heard. Help you to be INVOLVED in decisions.

At the moment, we are following UK Government guidelines regarding face-to-face contact. If we cannot meet up in person, we can successfully deliver all our services via phone, text, email and video calling. 

If you are in care, leaving care or know someone who needs independent advice and support, please contact our free phone helpline.
