Surrey Family Information Service (FIS) is a statutory service providing free impartial information and signposting for families with children aged 0 to 19 (up to 25 years for those with additional needs). 

The role of the service is to help families get the most out of the information and services available in the community and online. This could be something like helping you find out about local events and activities for your child, or pointing you in the right direction when things aren't going so well and you need a bit of extra support.

The FIS website covers a range of subjects including childcare, family finance, parenting support and education. You can also visit the Surrey Local Offer website for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) information and help.

You can use the comprehensive Family Information Directory to find services, support groups, activities, events and more. And if you need some extra help you can always get in touch with the service via their online form, by email, phone or social media.
