Parents Legal Centres

Parents Legal Centres (PLCs) provide a free lawyer and an advocate to help parents address the social worker’s concerns about their children’s safety (child protection) early on. Together, they can help find solutions that work for the family. This service is available to parents any time after the ministry or a delegated Aboriginal agency contacts them.

There are ten Parents Legal Centres across BC. Learn more here

Duty Counsel can help with:

  • Parenting time or contact / access
  • Guardianship / custody
  • Child support
  • Property (limited advice)
  • Tentative settlement agreements
  • Court procedures
