G:up Signposting Database

This database is designed to signpost you to organisations and services that can support your work, whichever area of the children and young people’s voluntary and community sector (CYP VCS) you work in. The database includes West Midlands and national infrastructure organisations and support bodies, training providers, quality standards, awarding bodies, as well as organisations and services on particular themes such as safeguarding, equality and diversity or governance.

You can scroll through the list below and click on any item for more information, or search for particular support by selecting from the three dropdown search functions and clicking Apply.

Search tips:

• You may get better results by just using just one dropdown at a time (make sure the other(s) are set on ‘Any’) rather than 2 or 3 together
• Under Geographical area, search for services in your local area, the West Midlands (select: ‘A Regional Provider’) or national providers
• Use the Sector dropdown to find organisations working with or offering specialist support about: children, young people, play or families. Note: some general support organisations are not labelled as belonging to any of these sectors: try searching using the Type of Service dropdown, or Geographical area dropdown instead

Please let us know if there are any gaps in the Signposting Database and we can improve it and give us your feedback on this service!
