About us
Our Children's Services are based in Southampton City, Portsmouth City and parts of Hampshire. We see children, young people and their families from 0-19 years (up to 25 years for young people with special educational needs or disability). We visit children and young people in their homes and the community e.g. family hub, school or college. Staff within our specialist services will often see children and young people at our clinics.
