Trafford Sleep Services

Welcome to Trafford Sleep Services (previously known as Sleep Tight Trafford), is a commissioned service provided by Trafford Council and is free for residents of the borough whose children have sleep difficulties. 

Sleep is something that we all take for granted, it is only when we don’t get a good night’s sleep that we realise how important it is for our health and wellbeing.

Sleep problems are very common in children, especially children with SEND. For some families the sleep problems are short lived but for others their child’s sleep problems can last for years and they can have a devastating impact on the whole family – leaving parents feeling exhausted and unable to function properly during the day.

Sometimes there are medical issues underlying sleep problems. If you are concerned that your child is snoring, has pauses in their breathing, gasping or chocking episodes during their sleep or unusual movement please seek advice from your GP.

Every child is different, and each family has its own needs and preferred parenting styles, but if you want to make changes to how your child sleeps, we are here to help.

Sleep is a highly complex process which is affected by many aspects of our daily life, such as what we eat and drink. Join one of our webinars to find out how to make simple changes that can have a big impact on how your child sleeps.

We offer a choice of webinars for parent’s and carers to attend.

Children with additional needs

Many parents are told that sleep problems are part of their child’s disability but there are always ways we can make a difference.
We know that children’s problems don’t magically disappear at 3 pm – in fact this is when many challenges begin!
We know that each child is different and understanding your child is the first step in being able to help them. Understanding how your child learns enables us to provide tailor made resources to help your child understand their sleep plan.
It is our intention to secure funding to enable any child to receive help to get a good night’s sleep but whilst we work on this, we can offer individual appointments.
