Mental health support

Tower Hamlets council works hard to meet the mental health needs of its residents, from provisions and assessment for those with special educational needs, to psychological, psychiatric and social work services and the correct vetting of contract and supplier staff.

Special educational needs

A child may be eligible for a special educational needs statement. This sets out the special educational needs of the child and the special help they should have at school.
