NYAS is a leading rights-based charity serving care experienced children and young people across England and Wales. Advocacy is at the heart of what we do, and over the course of our 40 year history we have broadened the scope of our services to include activities that support children directly (e.g. befriending, legal representation, return interviews, mental health advocacy and project based work), and indirectly such as inspection of children’s homes and training for professionals.
