The National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS) is a UK children’s charity which offers socio-legal advocacy services to children and young people up to the age of 25, parents, carers and associated professionals.
NYAS offers advice, information, support and representation to children and young people. It is intended to be a safety net for children and young people who have nowhere else to turn. The organization works for the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
NYAS can be appointed by a Court under Family Procedure Rules to represent the child as a Guardian ad Litem/ Next Friend in exceptional or sensitive circumstances.
