  • Early Help remodelling

    Government cuts in funding mean that the council has to make financial savings. One of the ways these savings can be made is to change the way we deliver services.

We need to understand how people might be affected by proposed changes to the way we run children, young people and family centres; and other early help services. This is why we are asking members of the public, service users,... More
