Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Children and Young People's Health Services
Do you have a disability or special health need? This is often called an additional need or a special educational need or disability (SEND or SEN). These can be developmental, physical, behavioural, sensory or learning needs.
A regular plan of care may suit your needs or something more complex.
All children and young people should have access to the right services at the right time. This is to make sure you can reach your full potential, even as you approach adulthood and move into adult services.
Our shared vision for children and young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is:
"Dream big, achieve well, have choice, control and lead happy, fulfilled lives"
