This is the website of the Office of the Children's Rights Director for England (OCRD). The Children's Rights Director is Roger Morgan. With his team Roger spends lots of time listening to what children and young people who live away from home have to say about how they are looked after. So, if you are living in a children's home, family centre, boarding school, residential special school, further education college, with foster carers, are adopted, getting any sort of help from social services or a care leaver… then this is the place to find out about your rights and a way for you to be heard.
