Early Help is a collection of services which respond as early as possible when a child, young person or family needs support. Early Help gives them access to services to meet their needs and working with them to ensure the support offered is right for them, is offered in the right place, and at the right time.

We offer a range of interventions in school to support children should they need it. Please see our directory for further details.
