About

Started by two educators (and parents) — Jo and Laura — with vast experience, both professional and personal, with many issues affecting children and young adults. It is our vision to have a platform where anyone can make suggestions and ask questions in hopes that over time the app will become a one stop shop for information and signposting in the UK and perhaps eventually beyond.
