Legal rights to see brother?

Asking on behalf of a friend.
My friends Mother had a child with another man, bringing into the world a step brother, who is now 4 years old. The Mother has now split with the man, and the child is remaining with the father. Things are not amicable, my friend gets on with neither the mother or father, for very good reason. However she is sad that as a result of the split she may never see her step-brother again. Does she have any legal rights to see him at all?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
The Mother does not object to her seeing him, but as the child is not in her custody, and the Father is awkward, what is the deal

AFAIK she has no automatic legal rights to see the child, if she wished to go to court to seek a contact order she would need court permission to do so. I would suggest she seeks professional legal advice as to the possible outcome.Saving for an early retirement!0
