Our Care Advice Line is a free friendly confidential helpline for children in care and care leavers.

We’re here to support you during your time in care and after you’ve left care. When you call, we can talk about whatever you want. Maybe you want to hear about your rights, talk about something on your mind – or just want someone to listen to you. That’s what we’re here for.
