Improving access to legal advice for families involved with the child welfare system
Grant: £40,000
June 20, 2018
The project will make it easier for families whose children are in need, at risk, or in care, to get advice and guidance, via our website.
Some visitors have had no experience of the child welfare system and are not emotionally ready to absorb much information. Others are litigants in person who need to draw on detailed legal materials and step-by-step guides in order to self-represent. Users have diverse literacy levels.
The new advice section, within the existing FRG website, will use the latest technology to ensure ease and interactivity of use. The design will tier advice resources to reflect users’ different levels of knowledge, understanding and need.
The design will include infographics, links to films about different child welfare processes and audio case studies. It will also include template letters to strengthen families abilities to self-litigate.
