Local Organisations who provide support 

Children with Disabilities Team (CWD)
Who we are
Our team consists of social workers , service coordinators behaviour therapist, transition social worker & health professionals who work with children and young people ranging from aged 0-18  who have a substantial and permanent disability or medical condition. We are based across two centres, Jubilee Gardens in Droylsden and Rowan House in Hyde.

What we do 
Working in partnership with other agencies we help families identify and prioritise their concerns, learn about service options and understand and plan for their child's needs. This process is called assessment and may lead to the provision of services if appropriate.

If services are provided they will be monitored and reviewed by the Lead Professional this is called a coordinated package of care.  

Our Services are provided in order to support families and avoid whenever possible disruption to family life. Services should seek to minimize the effect of their disabilities and help children to lead lives which are as normal as possible.
