About this service

Action for Children provides parenting advice through 'Parent Talk', support for children with disabilities, and help for young carers. It is there for families, children, and young people needing support. There is no charge for using it. You can contact them yourself, so you do not need to be referred by anyone else.

Family life can be demanding, and asking for a bit of support early often makes things easier later.
