We believe no child or young person should ever be alone or voiceless in the care system, in the family court or wherever decisions are being made about their future.
Who We Are
Our Purpose
To prevent and end social injustices faced by children (particularly care-experienced children), young people and vulnerable adults. At NYAS we respect, promote and protect these rights through the provision of advocacy, early interventions, independent legal representation and by influencing systemic change.
