Information for people who have Special or Additional Needs
Connexions provides advice, guidance, support and information for young people aged 13-19. Young people with special / additional needs can ask for help and support from Connexions until their 25th birthday.
Connexions Personal Advisers (PAs) offer advice and support to both young people and their parents. PAs also work closely with schools, colleges, social care, employers and other organisations to help ensure that advice and guidance is appropriate.
