Our Family Support service provides an Early help offer (Level 2) to all children and families with emerging needs.
Family Support staff will provide additional help for children, young people and families as soon as challenges start to emerge or where it is likely that issues will impact negatively on children’s outcomes. If you feel you need a referral into the Family Support Team, please speak to your child’s Year Manager.
As part of Level 2 Family Support, an Early Help Assessment will be completed to assess the whole family’s needs.
