Welcome to a Brighter Future

We are an independent, not-for-profit-company established in December 2018 to deliver the best possible opportunities for the children of Reading. Our responsibility is to deliver children’s social care, early help and educational services (including SEND).

Our vision is to unlock resources to help every child have a happy, healthy and successful life. We believe that we are most likely to succeed if our staff, children and young people we work with are involved and engaged in everything we do.

Concerned about a child

The Children’s Single Point of Access is where to raise a concern about a child (pre-birth to 18 years old) in Reading, including safeguarding and child protection.

Our services

All our essential services will continue to run during the national lockdown and may be by phone, email or video links.
