This in<strong>for</strong>mation pack is <strong>for</strong> parents <strong>and</strong> carers <strong>of</strong> children <strong>with</strong> complex <strong>and</strong> additional<br />
needs.<br />
The timing <strong>of</strong> the need <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation varies greatly between parents. The in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
<strong>with</strong>in this pack gives a very broad picture <strong>of</strong> services available. This pack allows parents to<br />
choose when they wish to move on to more specific in<strong>for</strong>mation, relevant to their own child's<br />
very specific needs.<br />
Please read through parts <strong>of</strong> the pack when you feel ready. Your child may not need the<br />
help <strong>of</strong> all the pr<strong>of</strong>essionals <strong>and</strong> services outlined in this pack, please do not be put <strong>of</strong>f by<br />
this. We hope the pr<strong>of</strong>essionals <strong>and</strong> supports listed in this pack may enable you to look after<br />
your child in a more in<strong>for</strong>med way.<br />
We hope to keep this pack regularly updated, <strong>and</strong> also provide an audio version, along <strong>with</strong><br />
a large print version. Requested sections can be obtained in braille or translations to family's<br />
first language. Should you need more advice about obtaining these please call our<br />
