Targeted services are services that you don’t need a social worker assessment to access.

- Personal Assistants Service a service to help people find a personal assistant.
- Exploring widening eligibility for short breaks for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD and children with Social, Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH). There is a section at the end where you can get further information on short breaks.
