Information and resources

The Shropshire Family Information Service (FIS) has developed a number of information packs for some of the more typical enquires it receives from parents or practitioners supporting children, young people and families. The packs contain information about local and national services and support, as well as resources aimed at children, young people and families.

All of the packs are attached to this page as pdfs. We're also gradually attaching them as webpages here, with several already done as examples. When these are all done, you'll then have the option of printing the attachments for use when you're 'out and about', or consulting the webpages online when in the office.

There are a number of websites that offer a wealth of information, services and things to do for children, young people and families including:

Family Information Directory

Information on local, regional and national services and organisations for children, young people and families. It also includes information on registered childcare and things to do and places to go.

Shropshire Local Offer
