Children's Services - service directory

This directory gives information about children's services web resources in Medway, including information for staff in Medway schools, which has restricted access.

Medway Family Information Service offers a signposting service to all professional staff working with children in Medway and also parents and carers. This can be helpful for children and young people who have needs but who are not eligible for a specialist level 3 or 4 service, as they often seem to miss out on the help they need.

Medway Family Information Service can help, as it has a database of services in Medway for children and young people. The service is available from 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday – Thursday and from 8.30am to 5pm on Friday.

The Positive Parenting Network website (www.medwayppn.org/public_home.asp) includes information about council-run services as well as those run by community and voluntary groups. Please call 01634 335566 if you need advice about where to go with a child or young person’s problem.
