Early Years
Early Years support from City of York Council
Support from City of York Council can be found through:

The Portage Services also provides an Early Support Coordinator who facilitates a weekly drop-in group for all parents and pre-school children with additional needs
- Health Visitors - they support all families with children who are pre-school, from pregnancy to starting school; the health visiting teams are based in children’s centres or NHS health clinics and they include health visitors, a staff nurse and child development workers
- Early Help - a way of describing the extra support a family can receive if they need it
