Help to Cope...

Clear, Transparent Pricing

Lay Advocacy at court is usually funded by HMCTS. Lay Advocacy outside court (such as advocacy in meetings with legal representatives ) is often funded by the Legal Aid Agency (LAA). Following acceptance of a referral, Cope Advocacy Services can provide a detailed quote for you to submit to HMCTS or the LAA. Proof of agreed funding will be required.

Prices

Lay Advocacy outside court £35 per hour.

Lay Advocacy in court £40 per hour.

Mileage is charged at 45p per mile

Please note that an agreed price cannot be discounted should a court hearing or meeting finish earlier than anticipated. The agreed fee is payable should a court hearing be adjourned on the day of the hearing or should the parent fail to attend.

There is no additional charge for the Lay Advocate’s introductory discussion with the parent (via telephone, text, Zoom, Teams or WhatsApp) or communication between the parent and advocate for the purpose of making arrangements to meet at court.

The parent will be made aware that their advocate can only support in relation to the matters agreed with their legal representative.

Happy Clients...

Rebecca helped me in meetings with my solicitor. We were talking about my kids and I have mental health problems. There's no way I could have gone to the meetings without her. cos I was too scared. She's smiley and colourful so I felt like she wasn't judging me at all.

Parent - J

Rebecca supported a number of my clients both at court and in meetings with myself. Her down to earth approach and ability to calm parents who are understandably heightened is admirable. Rebecca is an experienced Lay Advocate but has also performed the Children's Advocate, Independent Mental Capacity Advocate and Care Act Advocate roles so has a good all round knowledge.

Solicitor - MM

Rebecca is a really experienced advocate and quickly builds trusting relationships with those she supports. Definitely my 'go to' person for all things advocacy.

TH - NHS Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner

I worked with Rebecca for a number of years. She really cares about giving people a voice. Rebecca knows that the family court can be an intimidating place and always let her advocacy partners know that they were not alone. She has a definite passion for what she does.
