| • | Support the young person in making complaints through the Complaints Procedures. |
| • | Support contact with other individuals who have a key stake in the lives of cared for children e.g. parent, foster carer, social workers, residential staff. |
Independent Visitors

To befriend and visit individual cared for children and young people, who have infrequent or no contact and communication with their parents.
