What is the children’s rights service?
- This is a service for children who are or have been in care in Leicestershire.
- Two Children’s Rights Officers are employed by Leicestershire Children & Young People's Service to make sure that children and young people in care know their rights and are fairly treated.
- The Children’s Rights Officer offers information, help and advice over the telephone, by letter or by visiting young people.
- The Children’s Rights Officer can also attend meetings, help young people get legal advice and support young people when they make complaints about Children & Young People's Services.
- If you live in one of Leicestershire’s children’s homes then you will be able to meet with the Children’s Rights Officer when she makes her visits.
The Children's Rights Officers can be contacted at the following address:
