The pages listed above contain information about social care and
support for children and young people across Medway.
The Relative and Friends Carers' Scheme holds regular
meetings and offers advice to relatives and friends who are caring
for children who cannot live with their own parents and where
Medway Council has become involved.
Help is available for residents who are concerned about the
welfare of a child or children in their neighbourhood. The
council's Children and Adults Directorate can also help parents who
are finding it hard to cope with the pressures of everyday life or
family circumstances.
Staff work with schools and the health service to offer the best
services for the welfare of children. Effective working between
agencies to help and protect children and young people can only be
successful if the full picture is known, so permission may be asked
to share information.
If you have a comment or complaint please refer to the complaints procedure.
Access to social services records
As with many other public and private bodies, Medway Council's
Children and Adults Directorate will keep records about people who
receive a service from it. These records could be stored on paper,
on computer or both. This information is confidential and is only
seen by the professionals and staff involved in each case. The law
gives you the right to ask to see information the council holds about
you.
