Worried about a child

If you are worried about a child's wellbeing, there are different ways of getting help depending on what you need. The NSSCP works with partners to provide these different types of support.

If you are a practitioner who works with children and families, you can access specific information on the Practitioners and professionals page.

You can use the North Somerset online directory by searching with a key word to find a list of local services which may be able to support your situation.

You can also access the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Local Offer for people with SEND aged 0-25. The Local Offer provides information and support services available to children and families in the local area.

North Somerset Children’s Services is a collection of Council services that are responsible for supporting and protecting children and families.
