Child Health Services

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), provides multidisciplinary assessment and treatment of children and young people with mental health or severe emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Childcare/early learning/education is good for children’s social, physical and mental development and also helps them to prepare for school – giving your child the best start in life.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), also known as autism, is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people communicate and interact with the world. It's characterized by a pattern of impairments in social communication and interaction, along with repetitive behaviors and restricted interests.

Deaf children only "feel" sounds as vibrations. Depending on the cause, either one ear or both ears may be affected. Middle ear infections are associated with other symptoms too, such as a fever and pain. Hearing problems in newborn babies and young children often go unnoticed at first.

peech and language therapy (SLT) helps children with communication, eating, drinking, and swallowing difficulties. SLTs are allied health professionals who work with children, families, carers, teachers, and other professionals to improve a child's communication skills. SLTs can also provide practical advice and training for families, teachers, and staff.

One of the best ways to protect your baby against diseases like measles, rubella, tetanus and meningitis is through immunisation.

Remember, as well as protecting your own baby, you're also protecting other babies and children by preventing the spread of disease.
