Early Help

Early Help for families

Early help means providing advice, help or support where we identify there is a specific need or difficulty within a family. As professionals we work alongside a child, young person and their family / carers to address the challenges they are experiencing, helping them to access the support and make any changes needed. This could be at any point
in a child’s life, from birth to 18 years old and on more than one occasion, as we know children and young people are always growing and developing their needs change, as well as the needs of their families and carers. Early help is about supporting children and young people when there is a challenge in their lives or that of their families as soon as
possible.
