NIROMP are proud supporters of the work of the Family Rights Group. Beverley has worked as an advocate, advisor and trainer for the Family Rights Group for the past decade.​  In addition to this she is the current family participation officer who supports both the parents’ and kinship carers’ panels. Beverley recently posted a piece via the Family Rights Group website:

“My parents were teenage sweethearts who were aged 16 and 17 when I was born. My mother was an only child and my grandparents were extremely distressed at what they considered to be her “dreadful mistake”.
