Brighton & Hove City Council - Children's Services

We want Brighton & Hove to be the best place for children and young people to grow up in.

In Brighton & Hove our children's services bring together education, health and social care for all 0 to 19-year-olds (and up to 25 years for those with special needs). They work in partnership with other health services as well as community and voluntary organisations in the city.

Many services are offered by neighbourhood based teams, while some are delivered by city-wide teams.
