Additional services

Research shows that prevention, early support and joint working with our partners can significantly reduce the need for statutory intervention later on in children’s lives. Early Support delivers services and activities for parents, carers, pregnant women and young people aged 0-19 (or 25 with Special Educational Needs/disability).

Early Support is a non-statutory service area that supports children, young people and families to improve their outcomes and reach their goals and aspirations. It does this through:

• Positive engagements.
• Finding out about the power they have and sustaining it.
• Exploring their needs with them.
• Helping them identify the things they want to change, in order to be the person and/ parent they want to be.

For more information see our Early support hubs.
