Young people's hub
We want Gateshead to be a place where all young people feel happy, stay healthy, and have the opportunity to thrive. Our SEND Local Offer Young People's Hub is an online platform for children and young people with additional needs in Gateshead. It aims to be a safe space to access information and advice, support services, and opportunities to get involved and to get your voice heard. Visit the Local Offer You Tube channel to watch videos with advice and real stories.
Whether it be feedback on what you think is good or what needs to improve, or maybe you have ideas and opinions of your own you'd just like to share please get involved.
Kooth offers free, anonymous, online counselling, advice and support for 11-25 year olds.
LGBT+ groups exist to ensure you are supported, empowered and provided with the information you need.
Being online can be positive for children and young people; including those with SEND provided they know how to keep safe. However, children and young people with SEND are more likely than their peers to be at risk of cyber bullying, online grooming and exploitation.
