Coram Children's Legal Centre

Coram Children’s Legal Centre, part of the Coram group of charities, specialises in law and policy affecting children and young people.

CCLC provides free legal information, advice and representation to children, young people, their families, carers and professionals, as well as international consultancy on child law and children’s rights.

Since opening in 1981 as the major UK project for the International Year of the Child, the CLC has helped thousands of children, parents and carers. We are staffed by lawyers and professionals with experience in child law and funded by grants from central Government and charitable trusts.

The Children’s Legal Centre amalgamated with children’s charity Coram on 1 September 2011 and will now be known as Coram Children’s Legal Centre.

The partnership of these two influential charities, which officially began on 1 September, will unite Coram’s social-work led expertise and extensive reach to schools nationwide with the legal experience of the Children’s Legal Centre (the CLC) in promoting the rights of children throughout the UK and beyond.
