NYAS - National Youth Advocacy Service

If you feel that your voice is not being heard when important decisions are made about you, you can access free and independent advocacy services from NYAS as a young person looked after by Lancashire County Council or Care Leaver.

General information about the service is available via here. You can self-refer or ask your social worker, personal advisor or a member of our team to do this on your behalf. A referral can be made via:

Coram Voice

If you just want to get some independent information or advise on your rights and entitlements as a care leaver, you can visit Coram Voice Always Heard or call them on 0808 800 5792. We can help you with this, if you want us to.
