Early Help Advice and Guidance

Early help is the term used in St Helens to describe our approach on a whole range of individual social, health and educational issues when providing support to children, young people and their families as soon as problems emerge or re-emerge. Families should be enabled and supported to have the right conversations, with the right people and at the right time about their needs or concerns, so that statutory interventions can be avoided where this is appropriate. For more information regarding the Early Help Framework, Graded Care Profile and the Early Help Assessment Tool, please see the documents below.
