Children's Support Service

We are a short stay provision which accepts referrals from local schools and the local authority. 

CSS is proud to be a Trauma Perceptive Practice School. This Essex wide approach enables CSS to better understand behaviour and emotional wellbeing, and support young people to reach their full potential.

We educate and give children access to a needs-led provision, with targeted support in a nurturing environment.


CSS strives hard to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our pupils. If you are a student, parent, carer, visitor or member of our community, and you have seen or experienced something that may cause harm, or affect the wellbeing of staff and pupils, please report it here. Any concern raised will be seen by our safeguarding team to deal with appropriately.
