Important Infomation about changes at NSNN

Northeast Special Needs Network (NSNN) and Skills for People have now become one organisation.

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

These resources will be hosted here until the launch of the new Skills for People website.
