What is Early Help?
In Coventry we have a fantastic Early Help offer, which is available to all children and families that reside in the city.
Early help, also known as early intervention, is the support given to a child, young person, and their family when a problem first emerges. Help may be required at any stage in a child’s life from pre-birth to adulthood and applies to any problem or need that the family cannot deal with or meet on their own.
Early help is not a service provided by one agency but is an approach that services adopt with many agencies working together to produce an early help offer. The Early Help Offer (system) is the network of services, processes and interactions that aim to help children, young people, and families at the earliest opportunity.
