As your corporate parents, we (Hillingdon Council) must make sure you are safe, well cared for, listened to and that all your needs are met. You have a right to be involved in all decisions about your care.
Your rights
As a child or young person in care, you have a right to
a social worker
an independent reviewing officer
understand why decisions are made about you and be involved in those decisions
access to independent advocacy
request access to your social care record.
Worried about the decisions being made about you?
If you're a looked after child or a care leaver and are worried about any of the decisions made about you by Hillingdon's children's services, you can get help from a Coram Voice advocate, who can:
give you independent information about your entitlements
support you in meetings with your social worker or personal advisor
If you need help or advice (but not an advocate), you can also email our children's rights and participation team at childrensrights@hillingdon.gov.uk.
Tell us what you think
We want to know what you think about the way we care for you, so we can improve the service we provide to all children and young people.
