Early Help
Some families find themselves in situations where they need support to help them get back on track. The Early Help process can co-ordinate support from a number of agencies led by one professional. Help can be achieved using a multi-agency ‘Team Around the Family’ (TAF) approach within the Early Help Framework. An Early Help assessment and plan is needed to co-ordinate a SMART response for the child and family. Families requiring support at this level may require specific support from Children’s Services via Start Well.
