Association of Lawyers for Children

The ALC exists to promote and secure justice for children and young people within the legal system in England and Wales.

The ALC has an outstanding reputation for promoting the voice of the child.

providing high quality legal training, focusing on the needs of lawyers concerned with cases relating to the rights, welfare, health and development of children;
