About this service
Children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) can face sleep difficulties more often than their peers. Whether it’s trouble falling asleep, frequent night awakenings, or early mornings, we’re here to help your child sleep better.
Our Sleep Service is designed to fit your life. We offer various ways to support you, including workshops, drop-in sessions, online advice and guidance sessions, and videos with hints & tips. Our mission is to empower you and your child with tools to enjoy restful nights and rejuvenating sleep.
We’re not just here for your child or young person; we’re here for you too. We know how tough sleep deprivation can be, so we’ll also provide you with practical ways to tackle your own sleep struggles.
Let’s work together to create peaceful sleep routines and brighter mornings for your children and yourself.
For professionals
We also provide training for professionals to help you identify and understand the challenges children face when they experience poor sleep. Please get in touch for more information about how we can support you or your team.

This is the Sleep Service’s Melatonin statement:
- Research evidence has shown that there is variability in the content of melatonin “gummies” manufactured in the US and available on-line.
- A study measuring the content of 25 brands of “gummy” found that some products contained up to 4 x the dose stated on the label.
- Melatonin gummies can contain high levels of serotonin or CBD and deaths in children taking melatonin gummies have been reported in the US as a result of serotonin overdose.
- Melatonin should only be taken under medical supervision and only if behavioural intervention has been offered.
