The Families Information Service is a free and impartial information service that supports families with children and young people on all aspects of family life, including:
- finding childcare
- funded childcare places
- how to get help with childcare costs
- how to access Early Help
Special educational needs
Our SEND Local Offer section provides a range of information for those with children and young people up to 25 years old who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Childcare market and sufficiency assessments
Every year we publish a report showing how we are meeting our statutory duty to provide enough childcare for the region. By assessing childcare supply and demand we can identify any areas which may have a shortage in childcare places.
Contact us for further information about these reports.
