What is early help?
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.
It is not a specific service or team, it’s 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.
It can offer support to families from pre-birth to adolescents with all sorts of issues from parenting, employment and school attendance to emotional wellbeing or anti-social behaviour.
You can find the full early help strategy, or read a leaflet about early help for more information.
The leaflet is also available in:
(To print we recommend you change your print settings to bind on the short edge. This is may show as ‘Flip’ in your printer settings). This leaflet was designed for printing purposes only, and with that in mind will not be fully accessible to someone using assistive technology such as a screen reader.
Please contact the Right for Children Mailbox if you need the leaflet in a different form, or translated into another language.
