Children's social care support for urgent, complex and changing needs
Velox provides specialist support services for children, young people and families, working with local authorities, children's services and partner organisations.
We support services where a child or young person may need additional supervision, crisis support, family support, behavioural support, transition support or help to maintain placement stability.
