Early Help
What is a Early Help?
Sometimes children and their families might need some extra help, this might come from a range of different organisations, all working together.
An Early Help Assessment is a way of noting down what is going well in your family, what the worries are and what needs to happen to help things improve. Together you will then agree the best way to make this happen; this will be written into a Family Plan.
You might need help in one or more of the following areas:
School, education or training
Home and life relationships
Health and emotional wellbeing
Work, finances or housing
Domestic violence or abuse
Crime or anti-Social behaviour
