right to careWe are working to ensure that all children and young people in the UK are able to access the care they need, no matter where they are from.

CCLC holds a community care legal aid contract through which we advise and represent children and families. The Migrant Children’s Project email advice service we advise families with alternate care arrangements, families across borders, and children and young people on the edges of care. We also work closely with Coram Voice, specialist advocates for children and young people who are or were in care in the UK to help children have their voices heard in the care system.
