Early help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges, at any point in a child’s life, from the foundation years through to teenage years. If an early help is appropriate the pastoral team will lead on liaising with other agencies and setting up an inter-agency assessment as appropriate.

​

The early help involves professionals working with families to identify strengths and areas that they may need to develop and ways to overcome issues that could impact a young person's education.

 

Any such cases should be under constant review, creating actions, and ensuring that these actions are met to support the family and the pupil.
