Children and young people

Community paediatric teams,  the children's community nursing team and the children's therapy team all support children with disabilities and other healthcare needs, and their families, in managing their care. Respite care is available for children and young people aged 5-18 and there are nursery sessions for pre-school children with special needs.

There are particular specialist services for children with diabetes and children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Having trouble getting your baby to sleep through the night? Worried about your toddler's eating or tantrums? Our health visiting teams can help.

Please view the Kent Trust Web service which is packed with useful information for Kent's children, families and young people.

ECAT(Every Child a Talker) is a national programme that promotes the development of young children’s communication, speech and language skills by engaging with parents, families and adults working with children aged 0-5.
