Welcome to Children's Services

Children's Services was established in April 2005 following the recommendations laid down in the government’s Green Paper ‘Every Child Matters’.

The aim of this portal is to bring together all the information you will need to support your child from birth to the age of 19 and up to the age of 25 for some young people with more complex needs.

Director of Children’s Services
