Your early help team

Co-ordinated support

An early help team is a team of children's service professionals. We work with children, young people and families living within a particular area. You may have worked with a member of an early help team in the past.

Our work is focused on meeting additional targeted, non-social work needs, predominantly level 3.

How do I get help from my early help team?
