This service offers a wide range of support for families, including a national helpline, online chat, WhatsApp and email support, as well as helpful advice articles and free online parenting courses. In-person support is also available in locations across England and Wales for those who need it

Home-Start offers local, community-based support for families, backed by the national organisation Home-Start UK. They provide trusted guidance and practical help to parents, with a focus on improving children’s development and supporting the health and wellbeing of the whole family

If your child provides physical or emotional care for a family member , they may be a young carer. Registering as a young carer can help them access support, guidance, and opportunities designed to support their wellbeing and development. Please follow the link above to complete the referral , if you require support with this please make contact with Mrs Massey.

To ensure the group remains a calm and nurturing environment, places are limited, so not all children registered for young carer support will be able to attend at all times. However, all pupils will continue to be supported in school in ways that best meet their needs.

Please speak to Mrs Massey or Miss Gibbs for more information.

Find resources, information and support around neurodiversity from children and family health Devon.

People with conditions such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia, anxiety and Tourette’s syndrome are sometimes referred to as neurodivergent people, whether diagnosed or as yet undiagnosed. The term neurodivergent simply means that your brain works differently to what may be considered ‘typical’.

The term ‘neurotypical’ refers to someone whose brain – the way their brain works – falls within the society standards of what is considered ‘typical’. 

It’s thought that around 15 per cent of children and young people in Devon have a neuro diverse diagnosis, or neuro diverse needs as yet undiagnosed, equating to at least 30,000 children and young people across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.

The language around neurodiversity is evolving and sometimes people may use different terms to those we’ve outlined here or use them in a slightly different way. 

Whether you need advice, support, or just someone to talk to, family hubs help you find the right help, in the right place, at the right time.
