The Gloucestershire Family Information Service (FIS) provide advice, guidance, support and information directly to families with children aged 0-19 (25 if the young person has a disability or additional needs) and the professionals who are supporting them.
They have a directory for local services www.glosfamiliesdirectory.org.uk and a range of targeted services are also available if more help is needed. https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/health-and-social-care/children-young-people-and-families/early-help-and-targeted-support/
The Local Offer lists information about the support services available to children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities and their families
Early Help and Targeted Support is about getting timely and effective support to children, young people and their families who need it, and also focuses on how families can be supported to do things for themselves and build on their strengths.
