Our Family Advice and Support team continue to support families with disabled children/young people (from birth to 25 years) by providing information, advice, support and training.

• We provide practical, targeted support tailored to each family
• We work across agencies, covering education, social care, health, benefits, leisure, housing and services from the voluntary sector
• We prepare parent carers for meetings and go with them so their views are listened to.
• We work in partnership with groups to influence service provision and the development of services
• We produce information booklets and factsheets and we are on Facebook

Skills for People also support families as well as adults with a learning disability to be part of the community.

As one bigger organisation we are able to support more families.
