Independent Visitor

We are a national children's rights charity providing an Independent Visitor Service. We recruit, train and support volunteers to act as IVs for the eligible children and young people in their care.
Our main activities are advocacy, residential visiting and independent visiting for children and young people.
Our mission statement: "To enable children and young people to have a voice by providing independent and confidential advice, information and advocacy services"

IVs build a relationship with the child or young person they are matched with based on trust, mutual respect and shared interests. Children and young people awaiting IV's are all in care and have been separated from their families; they may be facing problems and situations which the IV may find difficult to understand however the IV needs to be patient and respectful.
