Children\u2019s Social Care provides a range of services and support which are accessible to children and their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early help is the extra support your family can get if you need it. It may be that you want to prevent a problem, or change things for your family before the problem becomes more serious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not a specific service or team, it\u2019s an approach that brings together people from a range of services and teams who will work together with your whole family to help improve the situation for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those accessing early help may also access additional targeted services. Please talk to your lead practitioner about the services we provide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
