Services for children and young people aim to meet the emotional and physical wellbeing of those up to the age of 18 (and their families) affected by the Grenfell Tower Fire.

Many of the services are for all ages, but flexibly adapt provision to provide range of coordinated support for children and young people who have been affected:

GP practices in the local area provide Enhanced Health Checks for children and young people affected.

The Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service provides a range of specialist wellbeing activities and therapy services for children and young people and their families. Further information is available on the service website.

The Dedicated Service also supports children and young people who are bereaved and survivors with long term health needs and care co-ordination.

Bereaved and survivor children and young people can also access a specialist Paediatric Long-term Monitoring Service. This service provides an annual consultant-led check to monitor a range of mental and physical health indicators. The service also plays a part in the overall health monitoring of bereaved and survivor children and young people, by providing information on the numbers of people with particular health conditions and comparing this to the prevalence of those conditions in the general population.

There are also a range of services and support options available through the NHS, through schools, and voluntary and community organisations in Kensington and Chelsea.

The best way to access NHS services is to book an appointment with your GP and discuss your concerns.

There are also other ways of accessing mental health services for children and young people, such as:
