At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep.  Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues.  Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely.

Our free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND.  We can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues).

The helpline is open 5 times a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings 7-9pm, and Monday, Wednesday mornings 9-11am.

The number is 03303 530 541.

Aberdeen City Libraries (ACL) is consulting on how our library services can best meet the changing needs of its citizens and communities.  This presents an opportunity for all to reflect, share ideas and help shape the future of our library service. 

 

We have developed a Children & Young People’s version – bit.ly/3s0eqqM – of the consultation for 0-18 years, providing an exciting opportunity for Aberdeen City Libraries to capture the views and voices of children and young people, their parents/carers and practitioners.  We would very much appreciate your support by taking part in the consultation and completing the survey.

 

The short survey can be completed online, downloaded from the website, or using paper copies available in every Aberdeen City Library.
