What is KIDS?

KIDS stands for Kids Independently Developing Skills.

This is a website and social media channels to help children and young people to live meaningful, healthy, independent lives by providing information and advice for young people, families and professionals. The information and advice is provided by health professionals from NHSGGC Specialist Children's Services.

What can I find on the KIDS website?

Self Care

Education
Participation in education is a key occupation for children and young people. The Education pages will tell you about Education in Scotland and how you can help your child prepare.
