NYAS is a UK charity providing children's rights and advocacy services. We are independent of and confidential from Bedfordshire County Council.
Young people have a number of legal rights that must be met by Bedfordshire County Council. Above all you have the right to say what you think and be listened to when decisions are being made about you.
It can be difficult for young people to have their rights respected and sometimes you may need a little extra support and help to achieve this. If you would like to click on the link you can find out more about NYAS.
