If you feel any part of this Pledge is not working or that the council hasn’t kept these promises for you then you can contact the Children’s Rights Service on 01482 396828 or email rights4u@eastriding.gov.uk and we will come out and see you if this is what you want. We can try to help you find out why this has happened and make sure things change for you.
