I don't know what to do

Hi everyone,
So my brother got sentenced last year. He has a 6 year old daughter. Everything was fine at first with his daughters mother, she was on board with contact.
The prison sent out a form for her to agree that my brother could have phone calls with his daughter. She reluctantly sent the form back after saying she was worried that SS would pick up on it and have more intervention. The form never arrived at the prison even though she said it was sent.
So the prison sent out another form, TRACKED, and then my mum said that she would physically collect the form and take it to the prison herself so it wouldn't get lost.
Anyway, we've been asking if the form was filled in so it could be collected with no replied, the daughters mother has been stalling and stalling. She then replies that she wants to seek advice from SS because every time my brother calls the daughter gets upset because she wonders where her daddy is as her daughter hasn't been told the truth. So she said that the daughter either needs to be told the truth or wait until she's older to understand as she doesn't want her school work affected.
In my opinion, the child is giving messages that shes missing her dad, therefore, she needs to have contact with her dad. Removing him completely will make it much worse. The resources are there for contact (phone calls, purple visits and physical visits) but the mother isn't on board.
My brother has never harmed his child (the police didn't say otherwise) and was a good father.
Can someone please advise me how I can get the ball rolling to get some contact in place. What would be my first port of call? I've had a google of charities and am not sure where to start.
Thanks so much, in advance!
