Integrated Children’s Service are a range of health, social care and education services for Children and families which aim to make services as seamless as possible for those needing to access them.  Services range from the universal (for example health visiting and school nursing) to highly specialised (for example services for children with disability).

Our staff are employed by several agencies but work together under a single management arrangement. Our services are delivered in three localities:-

• Northern
• Southern (including West Devon)
• Eastern (including Exeter, Mid and East Devon )

and Family Support Services which work across the county.

Integrated Children’s Services are hosted by Devon county Council, pending reprocurement of NHS services necessitated by Transforming Community Services. The interim management arrangements for Integrated Children's Services are available below:
