About the service
Our services based in Gatley are for children and young people with learning difficulties, complex needs and Autism.

The overall aim of the services is to reduce the number of placements experienced by young people, allowing them a period of stability by providing a safe predictable and consistent environment in order to support them to move on from the home.

This may be to return to family, foster care, independence or an alternative provision.
