Family Support and Information Line
Our Family Support and Information Line (AFSIL) will be available for families and others involved with helping children and young adults who have special or additional needs.
The advice line is being set up in response to issues raised by a survey carried out by ARCOS, summarised in a report called Scarcely Special, based on its experiences with parents and children during the first lockdown last year.
