Partnering with Essex University Law Department

​Tendring Families First Charity and its 12 schools have worked in partnership with Essex Law Clinic to provide our parents and families with free locally delivered Legal Advice. We know that many of our families are experiencing difficult relationship separations, which inevitably involve disagreements over child arrangements which can impact on the emotional wellbeing of the children caught up in the middle. With the removal of legal aid so many of our families are unable to get the essential advice they need to make the changes and to keep the child's needs at the centre of all decisions.
 
Essex Law Clinic provide outreach law clinics delivered in our schools whereby parents can book a 45-minute appointment and be seen by the law students with the supervising solicitor to be provided with a follow up full written letter of advice. This service is often a crucial lifeline for parents to be able to move forward and most importantly to reduce conflict between parents impacting on the children
