Issues that affect vulnerable children

Most children and young people in Leeds will have all of their needs met from universal services such as GP surgeries, children’s centres and schools.

About 30% of children and young people will at some point require extra support from services and agencies.

For some children and young people, these additional needs can be serious enough to constitute safeguarding concerns.
