Welcome to the Middlesbrough Family Service Directory, an on line directory of services and activities for children, young people, parents and carers and practitioners in Middlesbrough. All you need to know in one place!

The directory is split into four zones, to start using the directory click on the zone, which relates to you or you can use the search bar at the top of the page. If you can’t find what you are looking for or if you want to update some information then please contact us.

Currently all staff in Ofsted registered settings need to be Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked. Many services will also require Public Liability Insurance. Legal requirements vary from service to service so it is advisable to check with providers beforehand to see if they meet these requirements.

Middlesbrough Council does not endorse or recommend entries in the directory because we are a free and impartial service. We are not warranting for instance that all of the service providers are registered, that their staff are CRB checked, or about the quality or standards of the service provided by any service provider. If you want to use a service from the directory you need to make sure yourself that you are happy to use them. Our aim is to ensure that the information is accurate and it is up to the providers to keep us informed of any changes to their service.
