"As regional head I am responsible for the overall management of our services for children and families in this area. We're committed to providing groundbreaking programmes, but we know that we cannot work alone.

"By developing our links with other external agencies and stakeholders we aim to ensure that the learning from our work has a long-term impact for children and young people."

About our work in South London and South East

We have service centres in Gillingham, Southampton and Croydon, which provide direct services to children and families across the region. The centres are designed to be places where children can feel safe and supported and better able to overcome the trauma they have experienced.

The work we do in our service centres concentrates on the most important issues affecting children and groups of children who are most at risk. Read more about our overall approach to what we do, or or get in touch with your local team for more information.
