Visit our disability information page to see how we can support you with your childcare.
If your child is struggling at school (for example, with schoolwork or attendance), speak to the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) at your child’s school.
To see what is on offer for young people in Reading to support their mental health, look on the Young People’s Zone on the Brighter Futures for Children website. For a list of the full services available, see the Family Information Services directory. If you have significant or urgent concerns about a child, contact the Children’s Single Point of Access (CSPoA).
We will support you if your child is in trouble with the police. If they get into trouble locally, but not with the police, contact our Reconnect youth team.
