We are dedicated to supporting children, young people and families in the Dudley borough.

In addition to supporting families we have a duty to protect children and young people who are at risk of neglect or abuse and support them if a court decides they can no longer remain with their own family.
We always need adoptive families and foster carers, if you could give a child a loving home why not visit our Fostering and Adoption pages to find out more.
The Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is a multi-disciplinary service providing assessments and treatment for young people who have complex and severe behavioural or emotional difficulties. The team is made up of clinical psychiatrists; clinical psychologists; social workers; nurses; occupational therapists and psychotherapists working side by side.
Referrals are via G.P's or other health professionals and via Dudley Social Services.
