Children and learning
This section of the web site is for children and young people, and their carers. It tells you how the council may be able to help care for children and their families living in the city.
There is information for carers of pre-school children. You can also find out about the youth service, education and schools in the city. Find out about adult and community learning opportunities here too. Finally, there is a section for professionals working with children in either education or social care.
