How we can help you:

                    
ASP holds walk-in support workshops, open to members and the public, once a month at both the Birmingham Branch and the Leicester Branch.   Parents, family members or friends of anyone experiencing contact difficulties are encouraged to attend.  These advice and support sessions are held in an informal setting, in a spirit of openness and friendliness, and everything discussed is treated with the utmost confidence.  Attending these workshops can be of great benefit, as you will meet several other people who have had similar experiences to your own and who can share their knowledge and experience with you.  We also:

• Offer telephone support
• Explain how the court system works - step by step
• Advise you on how to prepare for a court hearing
• Help you choose a solicitor
• Help you to represent yourself in court should you choose to do so
• Help you to prepare for meetings with CAFCASS (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service)
• Help you focus on the needs of your child/children
