Early help

Early Help
The purpose of Early Help is to give support to children and their families at the earliest opportunity and stop any problems they are experiencing from getting worse.

Any professional working with your family, such as those based in schools, health services, and in voluntary sector organisations, can offer Early Help as soon as they can see that advice, support and/or early help may be needed.

Early Help works best when it is offered to the whole family and when services are delivered jointly by professionals.

Early Help is everyone’s business. We have a page dedicated to Early Help on our website.
