Advocacy
Serenity Legal Services aims to continue with the successful holistic approach created by Serenity Welfare Ltd.
Our team works directly with children and young people to make sure that their wishes and feelings are heard by the professionals working with them, as well as helping them to access legal support and other specialist services they need to resolve the multiple challenges they face. The long-term aim of our advocacy is to empower young people to advocate for themselves.
Our specialist advocacy advisors will help young people to have their voice heard in a variety of settings such as supporting them in meetings, speaking to service providers on their behalf, helping them secure accommodation and housing, accessing and/or maintaining education, judicial reviews, putting them in touch with lawyers and other professionals at the police station, in Court or in secure or custodial settings as well as residential care to ensure they get the level of support they need.
Our team has wide-ranging and long-standing experiences within youth justice, legal services, social care, and criminal justice systems and are well-placed to serve young people to access the levels of support they are entitled to.
The young person is always at the centre of the process, with their wishes and feelings directing the support they receive.
