Support If something doesn’t feel quite right, maybe there are changes in eating, behaviour, or general health. It’s always a good idea to speak to your GP or health visitor. Some schools have a nursing team, and they can offer support if needed. Once you’ve talked things through, you’ll be pointed in the right direction. Sometimes extra help is needed, and one of our services might be the next step. You can find more information about those services below.

Managing your health It’s important to make sure your child has regular health checks. This includes seeing the GP, dentist, and optician. If your child is 14 or older and has a learning disability, they can get a free yearly health check with their GP to help spot any problems early. If you're a carer, let your GP know. Registering as a carer means you can get extra support, like a free flu jab. It also helps your GP understand your role better, especially if you ever become unwell and someone else needs to help while you recover.
