Help and support for young people.
The Children's Services Team can give help or advice to
young people who are having problems in their family life,
relationships, school, or are involved with substance abuse or
crime.
You can come and talk to a social worker in a safe place and
wherever possible confidentiality will be maintained.
We have a duty to support young people who have been in care in
the City. We can also offer advice and assistance to young people
who have been in care in other Local Authorities.
