WHAT IS EARLY HELP?

At Upton-upon-Severn CE Primary School we recognise the challenges that families face in bringing up children. Everyone needs help at some time in their lives and therefore an ethos of early help is important for any school. There may be times when you need extra help and support. If this is the case, please come and talk to us.

There are many ways in which we can help as outlined in our offer of early help. We can also help to plan specific support for families in the forms of Early Help Assessment where we can work together to set and achieve outcomes. Staff are aware of our schools offer of early help. Staff consider if there are any offers of early help that we can make, in order to help a child thrive.

Early help means providing support as soon as a problem appears, to stop it from getting worse. This could be of help at any point in a child’s life, from birth to the teenage years. If you feel you need support with any aspect of parenting, emotional support, financial support, housing or any other aspect which may impact on your children please contact the services below.
