National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS)

Who we are

NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) is a leading rights-based charity providing high quality
advocacy and legal representation for children and young people who might be in care, subject to
child protection plans or have mental health issues across England and Wales.
We listen to what children and young people want, care about what they say and do everything
we can to empower them to have a voice and be heard when important decisions are being made
which affect their future.
We influence and campaign to bring about positive changes and ensure children’s rights are
upheld.
