Coronavirus

PFAN raising parents’ voices

We hope you are safe and well at this difficult time.

Coronavirus and social distancing are putting stress on families and communities, and are tough on parents with child welfare involvement. PFAN is dedicated to building the power of parents affected by the child protection system.

We need your help to make PFAN the best source of help and information on humane child protection post coronavirus: 

Parents and family members

If coronavirus is impacting on you, PFAN wants to hear from you. Please complete this brief survey so that we can learn from you about difficulties you face and what has helped.

If you have examples of good practice or important information to share please send us details
