The service is harnessing the use of digital technology and have two  digital platforms for young people and their parents and carers to use to get confidential advice and support about child health related issues. These include: emotional health, bedwetting, keeping healthy, sleep, dental health, growing up, support with medical conditions in school, and a range of adolescent topics.
